Well, as in you're not logged in because you are either not a member, you're
not accepting cookies, or something else.

heh, why make users choose?  if you're a member, you _can_ upload your pgp
key to the server... then, you can either post on the web, as usual, via
smtp/nntp with an auth email, or via smtp/nntp with PGP...  that would be my
perfect world :)

Oh? So PGP authorization is currently in effect for members who have
uploaded their PGP key and post with NNTP/SMTP? I.E. they don't have to use
the authentication via email assuming they have a valid PGP key?

I guess that's true though (about choice)-- you could just authenticate by
PGP/cookie if either were available, and in their abscence authenticate via
email. Unless for some reason they still want to authenticate via email even
when a PGP key/cookie is supplied.

nod...  I'll probably try and work on the script some more, someday...  but
been too busy with peeron coding lately :)

More than understandable :)
