"Suggesting a security policy for PGP clients" - Application Note, November 1999 Doc 760 kb. ZIP:ed 360 kb
A step by step guide based upon practical experience of implementing PGP's security policy within corporations. With extensive screenshots and comments, it suggests guidelines for "best practices". It also explains the motives behind certain choices that an administrator encounters during the creation of a customised PGP client. The text is a part in the knowledge exchange within NAI's PGP International Technical Group, but can also be used by administrators with prior knowledge of PGP, or in courses for implementing PGP's PKI solution.

(A historical note. There is a famous telegram, which Britain intercepted from Germany to Mexico, which has the same name as this newsletter. This might give false hits when searching for the newsletter on Internet. To read more:
Tuchman, Barbara W., "The Zimmermann Telegram", McMillan, New York, 2nd ed. 1966 (1st ed. 1958.) (A message from Germany offered to restore New Mexico, Texas and Arizona to Mexico if they would fight on the German side in World War I. Decoded, this ensured America's entry into the War. The story of how this information was used, yet keeping the Germans from realizing their codes were broken. Easy reading.)
