You make it seem as if you never sent or received an encrypted

continue to research Enigmail. So far it seems it will only work
with Mozilla email client programs.
Actually, I sent encrypted/signed message to and received from many
people. However, I don't know what they were using.
Reading the documentation makes it seem that it is a certificate
creator and manager. There is nothing that presumes the certificates
will not work anywhere a certificate is used. I do not think this
will solve the problem in sending certificate encrypted emails to
Thunderbird and receiving certificate encrypted emails from Thunderbird.
I tried again to encrypt to Thunderbird and again failed. All the
other attempts succeeded. Without a definitive answer to the
SeaMonkey email certificate problem, I must migrate back to Thunderbird.
Personally, I believe that all internet traffic should be encrypted.
Unfortunately, the majority say, "I keep myself vulnerable because I
want to be abused, here is my banking information". I do not wish the
hackers to know that I am saying things like, "Hello, how are you?"
in the emails I send. Let them try to decrypt it to find out there is
no personal info there.
So you need to sent the public key to everyone in the world - because
you don't know to which person the destination of the next mail will
be...
Is that not how Enigmail works? You trade public keys (certificates)
then you may encrypt? I have zero experience with Enigmail,
Me too :-)
I think that you must send public key but you should encrypt with your
personal key.
I never use encrypted mail to not force the recipent to install
decryption software, etc ... let the people stay simple and reserve
encrypted mail if you want to sent sensible data in a mail.
