================== Rot-13 for Outlook Version: 1.0.0.5 ------------------ by Brana Bujenovic ================== ============ Introduction ============ If you want to encode/decode text using rot-13, just replace each English letter with the one positioned 13 places forward/backward along the alphabet. The goal of such a simple encryption is to hide part of your message temporarily, and "force" recipient(s) to read the rest of the text first. You can use Rot13 for movie spoilers, jokes, puzzles etc. More information about Rot13 can be found here: http://www.rot13.com ============ Installation ============ For Windows 2000/XP/Vista: 1. Close Outlook. 2. Copy Rot13.dll to the folder where you store Outlook addins (for example: C:\MyOutlookAddins\) 3. Do one of the following: 3.A. Run install.bat, and hit OK to close the confirmation dialog. 3.B. At the command-prompt, navigate to the destination folder, and type "regsvr32 Rot13.dll", hit Enter. 4. Start Outlook. For Windows 98 (or Windows 2000/XP/Vista): 1. Start Outlook. 2. Click Tools/Options/Other/Advanced Options/COM Add-ins. 3. Click Add... and browse to the addin folder. 4. Select Rot13.dll and hit OK. 5. Click OK 3 more times, to close all open dialogs. Note, if you want to rename/move your Outlook-addins folder, or move the addin to another folder, just repeat the procedure, and re-register the addin. ============= Example Usage ============= To scramble/unscramble some text: 1. Start Outlook, and open the message of your choice (or start the new message). 1.A. If it's not the "composition message", to edit the message click Edit/Edit Message. 1.B.
