Ok, [high]v1.1.0[/high] is available for download. This fixes all bugs listed so far:

PM's, replies and previews are working.
Smilies no longer have a chance of breaking encryption
Encrypted text is now encapsulated within base64_encode(); to allow for proper storage within MySQL database

*** Please note that messages encrypted with v1.0.0 - v1.0.1 will NOT be viewable with v1.1.0. The was an unfortunate but necessary change that needed to be made. I would suggest deleting all previously encrypted PM's before upgrading. ***

Enjoy!

vBulletin does not natively support attachments within Private Messages. Currently, the only way to achieve this result is via modification.

I develop my hacks to work on a default vBulletin installation and I cannot make any assurances as to their functionality alongside other hacks.

That being said, PMCrypt encrypts only the $pm['message'] variable. I'd imagine the Private Messages Attachments modification stores the attachments within the default attachments table, which remains unaffected by PMCrypt.

Nice one, but how will user understand the encryption?

The user doesn't need to understand anything other than his or her Private Messages are no longer stored in plaintext within the MySQL database. This modification does not require any user interaction whatsoever.

OK, what I wanted to ask, how will they understand this?
Maybe a sign around the pm editor would be nice. "This message is encrypted" or something like that.
Because if you are a user who is suspicious about if admins are reading my pm's, my word of "your messages are encrypted" wont be enough..
Or I am completely misunderstanding somethings.. :)

Hrm, I see what you're saying. That's not a bad idea, I'll work up something visual for the end user.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This could be more useful if it could be used per usergroup rather than all PM's

Hi i have a Problem ... The Hack works fine but :

I see them with Already answered Message for the second time it is answered in the Quot only the encoded text.

Sorry for my bad Englisch but I'm a German ^^

Do private messages even need an encryption? As far as i know, it is not possible to "steal" or even intercept private messages. Anyway, good idea as far as peace of mind goes.
