From what I can tell, those who requested this hack were more concerned with assuring the members that the Admins themselves weren't reading their PMs.

Great idea for a hack Magnus :) Thank you for taking the time to make it and sharing it with us. In this day and age it should be a default vb feature.

Very nice. Very timely.

If it is possible and not a big task, I would like to suggest the following:

- A user cp option (checkbox) permitting the member to enable/disable this function;

- A message level option (checkbox) permitting the member to elect this option on a message by message basis;

- Admin level options enabling or disabling each of the above;

Why? As pointed out, there is a degree of risk in using the encryption mod, i.e. if the mod is for whatever reason disabled, removed, broken, whatever - encrypted PMs are effectively lost. Therefore, I would like to put the burden of responsibility for using encryption at the member level. Inform them of the trade-offs and that they use at their option and own risk.

Thanks for the work you have done on this. Installed.

:D

Uh, that's kind of the point. The whole point of encrypting private messages is to provide some form of assurance to your users that neither you (nor anyone else) is easily reading them.
