+Gorak Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 When you submit an encrypted log entry to a cache, the email message sent to those who have the cache on their Watchlist is sent decrypted. I'm sure this must be a bug as it sort of defeats the purpose of encrypting the log entry in the first place. ____________ Gorak I love frogs. They taste like chicken. Yum.

+The Wet Coast Explorers Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Noticed the same thing earlier this month and posted in another thread. Didn't seem to get noticed by TPTB though, so perhaps I should have started a new thread like you did Gorak. I've actually thought of using a new encrypting algorithm (e.g. ROT6 or ROT14 ) until this gets fixed. No matter where you go, there you are Link to comment
+Gorak Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 From the overwhelming response this has garnered, it doesn't appear that TPTB have noticed yet. Maybe we should be using Kenny-speak. ____________ Gorak I love frogs. They taste like chicken. Yum.

+CYBret Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Let me see if I understand. You put a cache on your watch list because--for one reason or another--you want email notification of the logs on this cache. The emails are sent UN-encrypted. It seems to me that TPTB have just saved you the trouble of decrypting the entry yourself. How is this a problem/issue? Bret "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.

Let's say I posted a DNF for a cache and add it to my cache watch list, to see if someone else finds it after me. Someone does, and includes in their log an encrypted spoiler. When I get the notice, the spoiler is spelled out right in front of me. ______________________ Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand. - Homer Simpson ChiTown Cachers * Keenpeople.com Stats [This message was edited by Stunod on October 29, 2003 at 12:34 PM.] Link to comment

I guess it's not an issue to me. If I didn't want to know what people were posting I wouldn't add it to my watchlist.

iryshe Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Encrypted logs will now be encrypted to people on the watchlist, and unencrypted for the cache owner. I assumed most people watch caches after they find them, so spoilers are a non-issue. Good points were raised and I see no harm in encrypting them when they're sent out. Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location Link to comment
