I've just spent a few minutes playing, and .. 1) couldn't figure out Enigform -- it kept saying that my passphrase had been cleared, and didn't do anything else 2) did get FireGPG to work in gmail - it's not too bad, but not as nice as enigmail in thunderbird because it doesn't suppress display of the "BEGIN..Message" and "BEGIN/END..SIGNATURE" parts. It does add some good buttons in the bottom border of the compose window: Sign, Sign and Send, and so on. Verify of received messages needed me to select the whole block including BEGIN..MESSAGE thru "END..SIG" -- a bit klunky, eh? I would like to know what the Windows people do in <whatever> clients and in webmail, so I can recommend tools to let them use gpg stuff with me. Where I have some influence, maybe just suggesting thunderbird for windows, I suppose. I wonder what fraction of people use webmail -- Overall? *nix/mac? Winx?
