[I'm pretty sure no one is still alive here: I think they all went to some web-based thing, as you do if you are supporting a tool for dealing with mail.] If you're using Lion then the answer is "Mail.app can do this, and it's probably related to indexing things, as you suggest". If I still cared then I'd point out that: - popping up a focus-stealing dialog box when you are not in the foreground is just terrible user-interface style (I know, this is not unique to this case); - so Mail.app needs to decrypt my mail for its own reasons - what possible good reason could it have to do this (for instance, is it indexing the mail? because there might just be some security issues about an application which thinks that is a good idea). But I think, sadly, this is all a lost cause. Note I'm not trying to be rude to the GPGMail people: I'm sure they're dealing with application frameworks designed by people who just don't care any more about users who have anything but the most trivial requirements, and it's really hard to get this stuff right. --tim -- Tim Bradshaw t...@tfeb.org / +44 798 098 1475 PGP: 53AA CFA7 553B C611 B984 C4F2 0F11 EA99 0B7A 5ED1 _______________________________________________ gpgtools-users mailing list gpgtools-users@lists.gpgtools.org FAQ: http://www.gpgtools.org/faq.html Changes: http://lists.gpgtools.org/mailman/listinfo/gpgtools-users Unsubscribe: http://lists.gpgtools.org/mailman/options/gpgtools-users/arch...@mail-archive.com?unsub=Unsubscribe&unsubconfirm=1 This email sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com
