Re: Automate GPG or PGP to make an .exe

Who said email? I don't see that in the OP's post.

The OP might give the file to the recipient directly, on a USB key. Or
he might send it through a trusted friend. Or he might post the file to
a website that he created for that purpose, 5 minutes ago. Or he might
put it on a free image site. Or send it through the mail, on diskette.
Or post it to sendyourfiles.com. Or leave it on a disk inside the
second book to the left of the right-hand shelf. Or use any of 50
thousand ways of pasing files to people.

And in any or all of those various cases, he might telephone the
recipient to tell him the hash of the message. Or leave that value on a
piece of paper on the outside step. Or post it to slashdot as a fake
news item. Or (and so on, ad infinitum)

So none of you have any basis on which to assert that the recipient can
not trust the EXE.
