Re:Too hard to use (unfortunately)

On: Facebook Now Supports PGP To Send You Encrypted Emails

It depends.
If you are using GnuPG's command line it is really hard..
But why?.
There are lots of easy to use mail client integrations:.
Enigmail for Thunderbird (https://www.enigmail.net/)
GPGTools for MAC(https://gpgtools.org/)
gpg4o for Outlook (https://www.giepa.de/produkte/gpg4o)

Just try it - it is not as hard as it is repeated on the web all the time.

That sounds like a dead easy way for people to get a GPG plugin for the industry standard client... but where is it?

Hi, I am the development lead of gpg4o - a GnuPG integration for Outlook
I can tell you that there is no dead easy way for getting GnuPG into Outlook. You are facing three major problems
- Outlook hooks are very tricky especially if your manipulating mails
- There are many dialects of OpenPGP message formats
- Hiding the complexity of GnuPG for the avarege end-user, so that a non-nerd can use it.


We spend several man-years with research and development for polishing our product.

These are the reasons the Open Source Plugins for Outlook are failing in the daily use.
