PGP with Snow Leopard ?

After discovering (to my dismay) that GPGMail didn't work with Mail.app anymore (had I known, I would have waited on the upgrade), I switched over to Thunderbird with Enigmail. Thunderbird 3 beta 4 ( http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/early_releases/downloads/) works fine for me with Enigmail version 0.97a ( http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download/nightly.php).

Postbox is nice but really is just Thunderbird with a modified interfaced (nicely done but not that different than standard TBird) and a few extra features like Facebook/Twitter link-in. Unless you want those features it's not worth paying for IMO.

I've started to make GPGMail compatible for Snow Leopard.

You can find a current beta version which should have all functionalities here:

Nice job... passes first round of tests on this end.

Any specific area's you want tested?

rockabilly, excellent work! Appeared to work properly on my end, if you need any specific things tested let us know and we'll check it out. Let me know where you'd like small cash donations sent for your work on this project!

What do i do with the decompressed file?

Which dir do i put it in?

Hi dff, go ahead and drop it in your /[username]/Library/Mail/Bundles folder. I'd quit mail first, then relaunch after the file is dropped in.

Will this updated GPGMail work with the latest version of Mail.app (64-bit version) that is the default in Snow Leopard?

I recall reading that modifying GPGMail would require us to revert back to the 32-bit version of Apple Mail, because modifying the code for the latest version of mail would not be feasible.

Correct, this appears to be working well in Snow Leopard, check it out and let us know how it goes for you!

So, by "correct" are you saying that GPGMail does not run on the 64-bit version of Apple Mail (the Snow Leopard default)? and we must use the 32-bit version?

You rock! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lukas you rock !!!!

Thank you, you made my day!
Your modification works perfectly!

Why is it beta ?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
:-)))

Thank you very much!!!

First of all: Thanks for your work, this looks not bad at all.
Nevertheless, this is still not working properly for me. (MacBook 1,1 , 10.6.1, 32bit)

Decrypting encryted messages works great, this is the good part.

The bad part is: When creating a new message, no PGP UI Elements appear in the new message window. So I cannot encrypt or sign the message. Clicking the "Encrypted" or "Signed" buttons in toolbar does not seem to change anything. At this point, I can't even send a message at all nor close the message window or mail.app. The only solution is to force quit mail.app via Activity Monitor.

Is there a workaround for this issue or anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I did some checking on my end, on 10.6.1 running Mail 4.1 (1076) all of the elements showed up for me when composing a new message, including the submenus in "Mailbox" and "View," but I actually can't remember what I had it set to (32/64). But then I took a look on my older machine [10.5.8, Mail 3.6 (936)] and I have your same results, no submenus, no options to encrypt or sign on a new message.

Obviously, on that machine, it's not running Snow Leopard, so I can run the old stable versions, I was just testing.

Hi Lukas,

thanks for your effort, but the beta doesn't really work on my Mac. (I have the first MacBook Pro, hence a real 32bit setup.)

When I decrypt a message the decrypted text shows as attachment instead in the mail window.
The buttons while composing don't show.
And the worst: As soon as I have the bundle active sending mails is no longer possible. When I click on "Send" the window vanishes and reappears again.
