Thank you for mentioning just plain encryption (without keys). I hadn't
thought of that.  Apparently, *I* hadn't finished *my* morning coffee.

WRT to my Blackberry, where I need to send the keys, I am not aware of
away to decrypt a message that I simply encrypted somewhere else.

The pgp app on the Blackberry only operates with established keys.
