[SLL] Gmail, FireFox and GnuPG

[Phil Hughes]

Carlie sent me this link:

It is an article about a firefox extension to make Gmail work with GnuPG local 
encryption.

If you are already using gpg and just install the extension, it just works. 
That is, no configuration of anything.

The only cavet I have seen is the non-encryption of the Gmail auto-save 
traffic. You can connect to Gmail with https so that solves the transmission 
part but it still means that a temporarily saved copy of the email could end 
up on a Google machine somewhere.

Of course, if your main use is signing messages rather than encryption, this 
is not a problem.
