I did some experimenting a few years ago. Because of differences in end-of-line (EOL) indicators between Windows and UNIX, encrypting or signing Web pages is not practical. Thus, in terms of the SeaMonkey browser -- or any other browser -- the answer is "No". As for E-mail in SeaMonkey, see the following bug reports: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22687> <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285715> <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363302> #285715 and #363302 were both closed as Invalid. The attitude expressed is that Thunderbird (and thus SeaMonkey, which uses code from Thunderbird or vice versa) would simply never be compatible with PGP. However, the fact that #22687 is still open gives me some hope that compatibility between Mozilla applications and PGP might someday exist. Currently, in terms of the SeaMonkey mail/news capability, the answer is also "No". This is one of the reasons I still won't use Thunderbird or SeaMonkey for E-mail. There is a mail/news extension called Enigmail that works with Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG). I was never able to get GPG to use my PGP keyring and thus did not thoroughly evaluate Enigmail. -- David E.
