This is pretty awesome - I only now wish Gmail would have native support for GPG signatures (I know they will never support GPG encryption). As it is, when people read emails I send in Gmail, the signature appears as a 'noname' 0B attachment, which is irritating.

#12Ever since I stopped using Thunderbird and Enigmail, I felt like I was missing something. So today, I finally started to develop my own solution - can't have them read our mails, now can we?
I don't suppose you're working on a Gmail/Chrome extension? Because I've been looking for one of those for years.

There was some effort in just such a project, though it seems to have died out.

#13You guys should checkout: http://thinkst.com/tools/cr-gpg/
We do the some thing, but hook into the DOM to blend it into the interface.
(we have users across win/linux/osx so its been doing pretty well considering its hacky birth)
Re: Protecting Your Mails With GnuPG
#14Cool, but remember that Gmail automatically saves, to your drafts folder, everything you enter into a new email message.
Even Google got bitten by that one during the Oracle lawsuit.

#15If you have email that warrants encryption beyond transport encryption, you're nuts to be using a web browser to generate it.

I'd love to see a mashup of the two. I trialed cr-gpg, works fine, if a bit clunky at the moment. I suspect this is a much better way to interact with gpg though (+ --use-agent, etc.).

True, but the encryption does mitigate some of the problem of the email being stored on and indexed by google servers. I have personal conversations with a number of people who use gmail, and it bothers me that those conversations are indexed for marketing purposes. It's a bit of a sledgehammer for that purpose, but it looks like it might get the job done.

#18GnuPG is pretty good. I've just recently started using the EasyPG package in Emacs to interface with GnuPG. Encrypting files couldn't be easier. Files are encrypted at saving and decrypted at loading automatically. Make backing up sensitive files to Dropbox much easier.

Just out of curiosity, why did you stop using Thunderbird+Enigmail?

"Gnupg is pretty good"???
Wtf? Pretty good? You have complaints with gpg?
