Go grab Enigmail and your gpg signing/management become a snap with mozilla -mail.

This thread has caught my eye, and I've read all the replies _up to_ and _including_ yours. I've installed enigmail (the version) for Mozilla 1.4, by launching mozilla from a root console, so it is now enabled for all users, and I now see "Enigsend" in the menu items when composing mail.
Messages that have been signed, now show a red question mark with a pencil through it, and I have the option of importing the key.
(I am sending this message unencrypted, though).
Is there anything else that I need? ...I note a related thread titled: "Open PGP plug-in?", where there is mention of cryptplug. Do I need to install this? Or is enigmail all that I need? I haven't yet generated my keys, as I'm a bit wary of (involuntarily) creating a "junk" (i.e. unreadable) message, though I would like to test it (on the list, or off-list, if possible).
FWIW, I did generate key(s) when I was using kmail, but I never used them (or uploaded a public key). Instead I expunged those keys from my system, until I was sure that I properly understood the procedure, and was able to backup this important data. Currently, I am (very rarely) using my Thawte Personal Certificate in the few instances where I may desire to encrypt or sign mail, but I'm more inclined towards using PGP...
TIA,
Elton.
