(I use the internal PGP implementation.) no, there is not, not to my knowledge, that is. you can easily encrypt the files you want to attach with the explorer (right-click, PGP) > 3) What is the difference between PGP and S/Mime? I can't get the > latter to work. don't bother to. S/MIME is an ugly way to sign your messages, it attaches a 5K signature to a 100 byte body. S/MIME is useful for the same purpose as PGP is, signing and encrypting. PGP is just fine.
