PGP with Snow Leopard ?

I had the same problem as Pharao. Uninstalling gnupg2 via ports and installing MacGPG2 instead fixed it for me.

First, thanks Aikasse for the clear instructions!

I had the same problem. It was the program pinentry-mac, included in MacGPG2-2.0.14RC2 (Jan 9 2010) that kept crashing, which is why the password-entry window didn't show up.

To fix it: I renamed /usr/local/libexec/pinentry-mac.app, then installed pinentry-mac v0.4beta from http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/files/ (it's under "All Files"). Now it works.

Hope this works!

Hello there, I really hope someone can help me with my gpg/snow leopard nightmare!

I used to use GPG tools to encrypt documents and send via a web-based email account. Since upgrading to snow leopard this no longer works, so I've downloaded gpgmail and am attempting to send my encrypted mail via apple's Mail program.

The group of people to whom I need to send encypted mail use different programs, and some can't read anything that's encrypted in the body of the message, hence our use of encrypted files containing any sensitive information.

However, I can't seem to encrypt documents using gpgmail. If I attach a file to an encrypted/signed (or just encrypted) message, what gets sent is two files, one called 'mail attachment' and the other "pgp.asc", which is not decryptable.

I just want to send word or pdf docs as "[filename].doc.gpg/pgp" but can't find any way of doing this.

It's crucial to my work and I've gone three weeks completely crippled by this.

NB I've followed the instructions above re the mailbundle etc. It's not that it isn't being recognised by Mail, just that I can't encrypt files...

Please help!

Thanks
Emma

Hi All,

What was the final word on this replacement mail bundle? Is the author of the bundle participating in this thread? Is it (and the source?) on the project page, or only from Dropbox?

Hello all,

It seems to be a problem with the MacOS 10.6.3 update and GPGMail plugin.

Sending signed and encrypted messages works fine, but fails when decrypting with the following error (just after entering the passphrase):

"Internal error: -MimePart getNumberOfAttachments:isSigned:isEncrypted:: unrecognized selector sent to instance ..."

Everything worked before upgrading to OS X 10.6.3

Any idea?

Thanks!

Installed components:
MacGPG2-2.0.14rc2
GPG KeychainAccess.0.7.0.1
GPGMail-1.2.1.mailbundle

It is ready an GPGMail version for Snow Leopard v10.6.3!!! Thanks to Lukas Pitschl:

This is his github social coding webpage: http://github.com/lukele/GPGMail-SL

Download the bundle here: http://github.com/lukele/GPGMail-SL/downloads

I hope this will be the finally solution for everybody. Thanks again to Lukas Pitschl.

If I started Filevault then gpgmail stopped working, but after deleting all lines starting with GPG in the file

com.apple.mail

it works again

I've followed the steps described here exactly and am able to send encrypted mail -- however, I too am getting the error:

Internal error: -[MimePart getNumberOfAttachments:isSigned:isEncrypted:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance ...

...when I decrypt the message in Apple Mail. The same email is successfully decrypted using TB/Enigmail. After google'ing this error message, my take is that several people are experiencing the issue, there is no known solution currently, and the work-around is TB/Enigmail.

Can I point out that Stéphane Corthésy is like myself, female:-) It is understandable that encryption is thought of and usually dominated and used by fella's, but there are a few of us out there:-)

I too have the error on decryption as described here, Mail.app 4.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

It is of course possible to save the PGP.asc attachment and run "gpg PGP.asc" to decrypt outside of Mail.app until it's fixed.

I had GPGMail working until the upgrade to Mail 4.3 (1081). The plugin was disabled upon restart after upgrading.

So the latest MacOS Update broke the gpg-mail Plugin again. But it seems that the old UUID Trick saves the show.
First close Mail.app.
Then you need to find out the new PluginCompatibilityUUIDs from Mail.app and the Message Framework.

cat /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Resources/Info.plist | grep UUID -A 1
cat /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Info.plist |grep UUID -A 1 | grep UUID -A 1

Then you need to open the gpg-mail Bundle.
Look into /Users/[username]/Library/Mail/Bundles
You can open GPGMail.mailbundle via the Context Menu. You need to add the two new UUIDs to the Node SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs in the Info.plist file.

Save and then restart Mail.app.

BTW the new UUIDs you need to add to the Info.plist file are...

B842F7D0-4D81-4DDF-A672-129CA5B32D57
E71BD599-351A-42C5-9B63-EA5C47F7CE8E

I just wanted to show people how to find the answer themselves.

Bytes_U,

Could I please see your Info.plist file? I am not able to correctly modify the file and get my Mail working correctly with the plugin. Thanks.
