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.

  4. Gentoo ALSO has Enigmail in Mozilla 1.1 by nvrrobx · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I just did a fresh emerge of Mozilla 1.1 last night on my Gentoo 1.2 box and it installed Enigmail also, so Mandrake isn't the only distro doing this...

  5. Gentoo was the first to support Enigmail... by vandan · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Just FYI - Gentoo has supported Enigmail for a fair while now - since Mozilla-1.1 came out. The ebuild is masked, but all you have to do is unmask it, type 'emerge mozilla' and in a few hours you have Mozilla-1.1 compiled with Enigmail support.
    Sweeeeeeeeeet!
