Thunderbird and OpenPGP with Enigmail….

I have been playing with some secure stuff lately. Things like WASTE and other odds and ends. Well, I came across a nice program to secure and authenticate your email. It’s called Enigmail. The nice thing about this plugin for Thunderbird, Mozilla Suite and Netscape is that it not only can encrypt and sign your emails for you, it’ll also decrypt messages and check GnuPG signatures for you. I’ve played with signed, fully encrypted, and signed/encrypted emails and it works like a dream. I highly suggest anyone who is interested try it. Security is a very cool thing. :)
