PGP Desktop Home automatically detects if an AIM session can be encrypted. If an intended AIM recipient is using PGP Desktop, his/her name will appear in the AIM buddy list appended with the words “PGP Enabled.” Some AIM applications append the first message in each secured AIM session with the words “Conversation encrypted by PGP Desktop.” Other AIM applications show a small lock icon superimposed on the AIM recipient’s user icon.
