Hi all, This is just a brief introduction to using GPG (Gnu PGP) with Mozilla Thunderbird. For understanding PGP, you can read up wikipedia.org/pgp and wikipedia.org/gpg. You can use GPG to encrypt your message or sign it so that it actually means it's coming from you (atleast it's hard to forge the message)
Steps- 1) download enigmail from http://enigmail.mozdev.org. (right-click "Save As") 2) Open Mozilla Thunderbird 3) Tools > Add-ons > Extensions 4) Press install (find the enigmail) 5) Generate public/private key for your particular email 6) Restart Mozilla Thunderbird 7) Select Email account > Properties > OpenPGP Security 8) Select the appropriate key ID. 9) Follow the prompts. Remember to save the private key generated from OpenPGP to a safe place like CD-ROM. I think I covered this topic many months ago in [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I don't think anyone was interested back then.
