Enigmail Standard In Mandrake 9.0

Posted by timothy on from the ease-of-use dept.

AxelTorvalds writes "The Mozilla 1.1 RPMs in Mandrake 9.0 contain the enigmail plugin. It seemlessly encrypts, signs, decrypts and authenticate email with GPG or PGP in the Mozilla Mail client. This is the first major distributor I know of to support enigmail. With this and Evolution and Kmail both supporting GPG and PGP are we at the dawn of that golden age when encrypted email will be commonplace?" Update: 09/15 17:26 GMT by T : Borked link fixed.

    "With this and Evolution and Kmail both supporting GPG and PGP are we at the dawn of that golden age when encrypted email will be commonplace?"

    Yes, definitely. With the three most popular e-mail clients in the world (Mozilla Mail, KMail and Evolution) all supporting encryption, I'm sure e-mail encryption will finally be the rule.

    This sounds all wrong but, read this and think about it.

    Please, don't use encryption!!!

    ROT13 isn't strong encryption.
