Notes 1. the attach public key switch indicates active; and 2. we should use the keyserver rather than attaching keys. one of the things that needs to happen to get PGP into the mainstream is that a means for everyday users to get their keys authenticated. I've blogged on occasion that this is a fuction that shopuld be offered as a service by local credit unions and banks. these institutions are required to verify identitiy already; signing and uploading a key would be a trivial task for them to add as an available service. this would enable the use of PGP/GnuPG on important documents such as Forms-1040, .... medical correspondence, contracts, etc. unfortunately it leaves a tough problem : people need a Secure Operating System. A Secure Operating System is one which will not permit itself to be modified by the activity of an application program. these are available,-- just not used by the "mainstream" . 3. I still assert that: If I click SIGN then PGP/Mime should come on automatically. -- On 07/15/2015 06:17 AM, daniel Azuelos

A button indicating that the action was done on the right of the signing button would be a nice feature. On the other hand the visibility of a public key as a normal attached file would lead many users to make errors. After thinking to the complex cases implied (multiple identities, multiple drafts…) I think that a feedback as basic as possible would be enough. On the other hand, if no one ever asked for this feedback, feel legitimate to forget it :). -- /Mike |
