I am using email clients with GnuPG support and I don't like Webmail at all. But the orignal post asked for GnuPG support for Webmail. > If you don't like the idea to store all information about your keys > in the browser - so try yubikey[4] (or any other OpenPGP smartcard). > The secret key will not work without your yubikey, even if anyone > has access to your (unsecured) machine. As said - I am using TheBat (or ClawsMail, Thunderbird on Windows or Linux, R2Mail2 on Android ) with GnuPG support and these clients are calling the GnuPG with local stored keys. For me there is no need to change something and such a setup can be used by other users, too. > It's to tricky - you will use that once or twice.

With clients you are more flexible to choose what you will do - encrypt, sign, both or nothing - according to your addressee. -- Best regards, Martin dagob...@yahoo.com TheBat! 7.4.16.3 (BETA) Pro (with OTFE) on Windows 7 6.1 7601 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
