Colleagues, I need some help.
I downloaded GPGTools on my Mac laptop (I have not done it on my Mac desktop yet as I want to be sure I know what I am doing!!!) and did the Install. I Imported my existing keys. And I have several question/problems: 1) When I open a new email message window, I see a green box in the upper right hand corner which is labeled “OpenPGP”. Is that right? 2) Should I be able to toggle GPG on and off; 3) I composed a short Test message to send to myself. In order to Encrypt it, I selected the text, went to Services and selected Encrypt. That gave me the encrypted code in a new window. It seemed to me that I then had to select that text, copy and then paste it into the new message. There has to be a simpler way to perform these functions? What are they? 4) My existing keys were created (in 2009 in PGP) at 2048 length. Should I change them to 4096? If so, how? 5) Even if I do not Encrypt the outgoing message, I get a window asking for my Passphrase. In the older PGP version, I had the option to cache the Passphrase so I did not have to enter it every time. How do I simplify this function? In advance, Thank You everyone for your help.
