PGP8 doesn't work for Tiger and the upgrade is $69. Pretty stiff if you

You would excuse all my questions, but I'm new to mac! :)
I'm trying to find a good frontend for GPG/PGP, like the one shipped

Is there a way to import additional bookmarks into IE?
Been following IE Help directions, trying for several days off and on.
If anyone has done it, would appreciate your tips. Posted this last week
