AM> I've been using GnuPG with TB! for a long time. With the plug-in you can
AM> sign, decrypt and encrypt messages. However, it uses a strict UID
AM> matching system (smart matching) when doing so in that it will select a
AM> key to use only if the key has an exactly matching name <address>
AM> combination to the one the plug-in is looking for. Key management and
AM> GnuPG configuration, you have to do via the CLI or you install either
AM> GPGShell or WinPT for this.

Well, just try to have some one send you an encrypted mail with
evolution or so. You'll find yourself unable to decrypt it with
TheBat. Sure, you can use GPshell, but that's not what I understand
if ritlabs says they have a plugin for GnuPG.

The new message encoding standards can only be decrypted with
additional tools like GPshell or by command line with gpg.
