Hello all,
I'm running GPG version 1.0.6 on Debian stable for the first time. Kernel version is 2.4.18. I'm trying to perform a relatively simple task: encrypt a big MS Outlook mail archive file so that only I can decrypt it. I created a key for myself, and encrypted the file with
gpg -e -r Charles mail.pst
mail.pst is a 116MB file.
The resulting mail.pst.gpg is 80MB. Something is clearly wrong. Though I'm aware GPG has compression, PST is already a pretty compressed format. Doing gpg -d to decrypt gave me back a file that was about 81MB -- far smaller than the original.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/files/Work$ gpg -e -r Charles mail.pst [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/files/Work$ ls -l total 200208 -r-------- 1 charles charles 122470400 May 2 22:11 mail.pst -rw-r--r-- 1 charles charles 82329455 Jun 18 21:41 mail.pst.gpg
What's going on here? I'm running on a 667MHz P3 with 128MB RAM.
Any help most appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles.
