turqiun, you really ought to be using GPG, it may not be part of the site infrastructure, but that is *only* because it cannot be without also compromising the point of PGP encryption (because this would force SR to store information which if SR was compromised, would allow LE to recover all communications sent afterwards). My point is that encryption is *not* an optional feature of SR. It is mandatory in order to do business professionally as a vendor and to be respected as a client.Learn how to use GPG and if your vendor has stock you'll almost certainly be in business, a lot of vendors will justly feel leery of customers not using it.Step 1: Find the vendor's public key on his profile.Step 2: Download GPG. Step 3: Copy-paste the public key into a text file, you can use any extension I believe, but most people save the file as .gpg or similar.Step 4: Import the public key into GPG.Step 5: Write your email to the vendor (known as plaintext).Step 6: Click the Encrypt button and select the vendor's public key to use.Step 7: Collect the encrypted text and email it to the vendor.If you want to practice using GPG, then ask and we'll do a 'dry run' or two here in this thread.Here is a new PGP key I have made. Try sending an encrypted message in this thread back to me. And tell me what everybody's favorite animal is! Yes! Yes it is!-------BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32)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EnDU-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
