Digitally signed email

As you may recal I have been trying out JDS and so thought I would give Evolution a spin. My first experiance was not too bad, though I have come to use Thunderbird's short-cut keys which are of course different to Evolution's. One thing I noticed with evolution was that I could use my PGP key to sign my email. I recalled that Chris's e-mail was digitally signed and sure enough found that he blogged the process. I thus now have a digital signature to my office emails and can look forward to people asking me "what's that?"

On the subject of email, my youngist daughter has the word 'email' in her spellaphon, which is why I am using email rather than e-mail!

FYI: there is also an extension for using gpg with thunderbird called enigmail. It is pretty convenient. Unfortunately its extension module is plattform specific, but there are sparc-solaris and x86-solaris packages.If you want to give it a try, point your browser to: http://enigmail.mozdev.org. I like it very much, and use it on a daily basis to sign my mails.
Cheers, Tom

Tom, Thanks - I'll be sure to give that a go. For some issues I have to use PGP in communications thus it would make my life easier if Thunderbird could encrypt and decrypt for me. Stace
