And that would never be solved. It's one of the "downsides" of encryption in general, that isn't just a Plus!-thing.

I can see your concern about making it easier to brute force-decrypt a file with such an app, but hey, If somebody really wanted to he wouldn't need that app..
Nope, but simply the fact that it would be a tad easier makes it a no-do.

I'll go seach somewhere if there is an AES decryption app... not sure how i would make it work with these special individual text files MsgPlus! creates tho...
You can't make it work. Patchou uses his own encryption method, it isn't an existing one...
