From: Elliott Roper on 3 Aug 2010 04:55 If like me, you were struggling without a decent crypto GUI for mail in Leopard and Snow Leopard, fret no more. Even more elegant than the discontinued plugin from PGP Corp and a breeze to install (providing you already have GPG which is easy enough too) get it from http://www.gpgmail.org/ -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248

November 2009 is the last update date on <http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/>. I can't work out which version of what is best to download. Can anyone advise? I've got an Intel iMac and MacOS X 10.6.4 and I'd like a secure installation of GPG with a GUI - what's the best download to go for and what bits do I need? Or even: can anyone point me at a Web page which tells me that stuff? Cheers, Rowland. (who has a Mac running Classic in part so he can run PGP - not been able to work out how to replace pre OS X PGP with a MacOS X near-equivalent) -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?

On <http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/> you can download GNU Privacy Guard 1.4.9, GPG Keychain Access (to allow you to access existing Keychains) and the mail program, which Elliott gave a link to. I've also downloaded GPGFileTool which should let me encrypt freestanding files, but doesn't seem to work. Any help, anyone? MST

THis is what my gpg -h says redacted:~ redacted$ gpg -h gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.10 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. I'm pretty sure I followed the directions and got downloads at http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/ The GUI is just for mail.app see the 29-Aug-2009 Updates entry at http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/ for some history. It is this plugin that is reborn at gpgmail.org see http://www.gpgmail.org/support/index.html for general instruction and installation of it. -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248

Any help, anyone? I never found one once I gave up on PGP Corp. I use gpg from the command line or from Emacs. -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248 |
