Product Description:

GPGMail is a plug-in for Apple's Mail, providing a front-end to gpg for some operations.

GPGMail extends Apple's Mail application and allows you to read and send authenticated and/or encrypted messages. You can use PGP for plain text and MIME messages, following RFC 3156. GPGMail sources are available.

What's new in this version:

  • Panther: fixed crashes
  • Tiger: built as Universal Binary
  • Now needs gpg >= 1.4.x
  • Tiger: temporarily disabled display of PGP elements in composer window when window is created via AppleScript, to avoid unsolvable bug - you can still change PGP settings via menu Message/PGP.
  • Mail no longer freezes when with using untrusted keys for encryption
  • Now fills in automatically PGP Key Download search field as soon as a key is missing (except when already performing search/import)
  • Fixed passphrase encryption when signature was toggled on
  • Fixed crash after message delivery failure
  • Dutch localization by Marc-Siebren Kwadijk
  • Added hidden user default, GPGOpenPGPExecutablePath
  • Fixed uncaught exceptions when gpg not configured correctly
  • Better error message when error related to specific key
  • Better key server-related error messages (not yet localized though)
  • Now accepts SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hash algorithms
  • Fixed compatibility-problem with MailTags
  • Fixed sorting of keys in key chooser dialog
  • Fixed bug when "only if message is unread" prefs were followed (when checked) even when automatic decryption/authentication was unchecked
  • Fixed problem where encryption was not settable until signing had been set, in some cases.
  • No longer tries to decrypt text/plain attachments
  • Tries to decrypt/verify application/octet-stream attachments
  • Fixed alignments in new message window

GPGMail ReviewNot so great - Version: 1.1.2, 2/12/2008 12:00AM PST

petepantone
I have compiled and installed the latest version of gpg stable from source, and a while back, I tried encrypting a message to myself with gpgmail. When the message arrived in my inbox, I was unable to decrypt it - gpgmail would prompt for the password twice, and then give me the message "bad password." But, the password was not bad - I then tried decrypting the same message using gpg itself, and the message decrypted just fine.

I tried posting about this on the mailing list, but GPGMail's mailing list doesn't seem to work.

I'd rather not use Thunderbird, since it is far too slow/clunky for my old machine, so I guess I'm stuck with good ol' CLI gpg.

GPGMail Troubleshooting Reportissues w/ PC users running PGP 9.5.1/Outlook - Version: 1.1.2, 12/19/2006 11:24AM PST

This app works great with other Mac users running GPG, but recently I've had to interact with someone using the commercial PGP v. 9.5.1 and Outlook, and it's not quite as smooth. I'm unsure if this is an issue with GPGMail or with GPG 1.4.5 itself, or more probably, Outlook/Windows.

I have GPG configured to not automatically decrypt, so when I click the decrypt button on an encrypted message, nothing happens, until I click to a different message, then back to the encrypted message. When I click back, the message is decrypted, albeit with quite a few "=20" linefeeds. Encrypted messages with attachments just don't work at all.

Just for fun I'm going to install GPG and Thunderbird on a Windows box and see how the interaction goes.

GPGMail ReviewThe best GPG plugin - Version: 1.1.2, 4/23/2006 05:54AM PST

This is the best GPG plugin for a mail program. It's easy to use, and can do all the crypto stuff noiseless.
