Sender noticed same as me above when sending. Yes. Inline-PGP and PGP/MIME messages run through different processing pipelines in Enigmail. For inline-PGP, once you click 'Send' Enigmail will copy the text currently in your mail window, feed that through GnuPG, and paste the output back into the mail window, then start the normal Thunderbird email sending process. This has the side effect of giving a brief flash of encrypted text in the window before sending. PGP/MIME handles things much differently. The difference you're interested in is, PGP/MIME processing doesn't paste anything back into the window, thus you never see the encrypted text. However, in both cases your message traffic is being encrypted. Enigmail's PGP/MIME support is mature and well-tested. Use it with confidence. :) _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
