Not that I get a lot of PGP encrypted email, but I had GPGMail installed, and I upgraded to Tiger (I missed the chance to do an Archive & Install, apparently - they hid that a bit too well).
Mail complained on startup that GPGMail wouldn’t run, but apparently it still was trying to render the emails through it, as every email I tried to view caused Mail.app to crash. A cursory inspection of the Crash Report told me this was the cause. Disabling it fixed it alright.

I have a couple of DVDs a friend gave me, and I have noticed some interesting things occurring with them. Firstly, I thought the DVD he gave me was bad, as it would not mount in my iMac G4. It’s an HFS or HFS+ disc, so will not mount in a PC either.
I then asked him for another copy, which he gave to me. It won’t mount either. Thinking something weird was going on, I tried it in an iMac G5, with a DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive. Mounted first time. I then tried it in another iMac G5, this time with a DVD-RW (specifically, a Pioneer DVR-K04F) drive, and it wouldn’t mount.
So, it seems like this DVD will mount in DVD-ROM drives, but not DVD-RW drives. And I cannot make another copy, as the only drives it will mount in are not Recordable drives!
Every other disc I have tried in my iMac has worked. I am stumped.
