Don't need GNUPG for that on Winders

Outlook and TBird support the Windows certs just fine, and they're somewhat less arduous.

Quel surprise, however, that on OS X the GNUPG plugin for Mail and GPG Keychain Access applications make being a GPG user as easy as falling off a log.

Then why do you think more people don't do it then?

I think it's because there is still a learning hurdle.

Well, yes.

90% of users don't even know that they CAN encrypt their mail.

Oh, I know that I can...

I just don't know that most of the people I send email to would be able to figure out how to read it.

You're *so* not in the 90%

That was part of my point

Even those that can, have incentives not to bother.

I'm not so sure...

I've gotten GPG-encrypted mail from you that had issues.

That was an S/MIME issue...

...and we need to revisit it. I need to know if it's just you or if I have a problem. Other people have communicated with me encryptowise without difficulty.

Re: That was an S/MIME issue...

Every other PGP/GPG-encrypted message I've ever received marked the encrypted portion with the content-type 'application/pgp-encrypted', and the signature 'application/pgp-signature'.

\r\n\r\n

Yours appears to have done neither. Perhaps some clients sniff for the 'BEGIN PGP MESSAGE' line, and Evolution doesn't?

\r\n\r\n

Saving the message and decrypting on the command line worked OK.

Fixx0r3d, and a note for Mail/GPG users on OS X

The GPG plugin thing for Mail has a preference panel with an option to always use OpenPGP/MIME.

Enabling this resolved the problem.
