Hi Charly! Many thanks for your comprehensive recipe for getting my system to work. I've not done anything yet ... and won't until some things get clarified (below).

I checked this both in Finder, and in Terminal by giving the command (in ~) ls -al on the off-chance it was a hidden folder. Nothing. > 2.

I've also searched for a file named Bundles. I don't find it. > 3. Wherever you find it, please check that its version is 1.3.3. In ~/Downloads I have the file GPGMail-1.3.3.dmg dated Mar 22. It's what I downloaded separately and used to install GPGMail after I'd used GPGTools for the whole installation last April 1 (and, as I said earlier, I'm not making a joke.) :-) > 4. The required location for this GPGMail.mailbundle is at: > Home/Preferences/Mail/Bundles. If it is not there, please: Given the absence of all the things (above) that you expect to be in my system, I'm reluctant (antsy, actually) to continue with the following instructions. I wouldn't have difficulties going through the following steps ... as you've noticed, I'm at home on Terminal's command line. It's just that the commands reference locations that don't exist. Do you have any suggestions for what to do, given that I have no Preference nor Mail folders, and no Bundles file? > - quit Mail.app > - launch Terminal (located at /Applications/Utilities) > - after the prompt, that is the $ sign please type (you can copy paste, but > be sure you get the correct words in one single line: > defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool yes [hit the Return key] > Terminal will return to a new prompt $, where you will type (copy paste) > defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibility -int 3 [Return key] > Terminal will return to a new prompt $. > Quit Terminal. > > 5.
