Tips
****

   Here are some random tips.

   * PGP provides quite good security when used correctly.  You are far
     more likely to use it correctly if you have read the directions.
     Read the `PGP User's Guide'!

   * 60 seconds is a relatively safe but somewhat inconvenient value for
     `mc-passwd-timeout'.  If your paranoia permits, consider increasing
     it to five or ten minutes (Note: Passphrase Cache).

   * If Mailcrypt ever does something you wish it had not, _DON'T
     PANIC_.  Just use the normal Emacs undo command, `M-x undo' or
     `C-x u', to restore your buffer (Note: Emacs Undo.).
     Mailcrypt keeps almost no state except what you see in your
     buffer, so any action can be undone this way.

   * All Mailcrypt operations place PGP's output in the `*MailCrypt*'
     buffer.  Check it occasionally for status and warning messages.

   * Add yourself to the Mailcrypt announcements mailing list (Note:
     Mailing List).  That way you can find out about new versions of
     Mailcrypt automatically, and we can enjoy the feeling that people
     are actually using our package.
