Enigmail, a GnuPG "plugin" for Mozilla which has been under
development for some time, has now reached a state of practical
usability with the Mozilla 0.9.9 release. It allows you to send or
receive encrypted mail using the Mozilla mailer and GPG. Enigmail is
open source and dually licensed under GPL/MPL. You can download and
install the software from the website http://enigmail.mozdev.org
Enigmail is cross-platform like Mozilla, although binaries are
supplied only for the Win32 and Linux-x86 platforms on the website.At
the moment there is no version of Enigmail available for Netscape 6.2
or earlier, which are based on much older versions of Mozilla.There
will be a version available for the next Netscape release, which is
expected to be based on Mozilla 1.0.
You may post enigmail-specific comments to the Enigmail
newsgroup/mailing list at mozdev.org
I've messed with the plugin (but not extensively), and so far I like
it a lot. It seems to "do the right thing" with various methods of
GPG. I haven't yet tested sending mail so I'm not sure if it sends
PGP-MIME or ascii-armored mail by default...
If it does the latter, I think I'll like it well enough to switch back
to using Mozilla for e-mail. But we shall see.
Oh also, for those who care, I noticed that Macromedia has released v5
of their Flash Player (still no shockwave) for Linux. It works fine
with Mozilla, but you need to install it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
(as opposed to /usr/lib/netscape/plugins, which will work for many
plugins on Mozilla). They still seem to be staying a version behind
the Windows/Mac version though, which is now at version 6.
The good news (if anything related to using Windows can be considered
good news) is the latest Windows versions of Flash and Shockwave
support Mozilla specifically (i.e. they find it and ask you if you
want to install flash/shockwave for it).
