Otherwise the message is signed exclusively. Encryption is only possible for recipients whose public GPG keys are available in the local key ring. Thus it is required to change the Apple Mail configuration for using the local SMTP filter server who is responsible for all formatting and encryption processes and forwarding of the result to the external email service provider. Instead the present approach creates a local SMTP filter server instance. As a consequence GPG/MIME encrypted messages cannot be handled inside Apple Mail without significantly changing its internal data flow. The encryption process is actually more complex since the mail application alters the MIME format before the message is send out.

Later on even this process can be automated by further scripts in example by passing all new messages to the decryption droplet when received. Currently users still need to drag and drop the messages they want to decrypt onto the GPG Decode application manually. Reformatting and the invocation of the GPG command line application is implemented with a set of Ruby scripts which are encapsulated within an AppleScript application for simplified usage. The decryption of a GPG/MIME encoded email requires to extract this attachment, decrypt it and replace the message content blog with the decrypted clear text. Even though Mail.app does not recognise this format, it does not alter it so the encryption can be done by external utility. GPG/MIME is an expansion to this format which encrypts the email content as a whole and stores the result within an email attachment.

Requirementsīefore installing the scripts make sure that the following components are available on your machine: But nevertheless as long as the more Mac like GPGMail plugin is not available it can be seen as a functional alternative at least. The disadvantage is that it is currently not as easy to use and does not as seamlessly integrate into Apples GUI. It does not make use of any unofficial API's. The GPG-MIME Filter Server follows another concept. Refer also to GPGMail-Project-Page for lastest news. Furthermore the author of the GPGMail plugin does currently not have the time to do this.Ĭurrently other developers struggle to make GPGMail available but this seems to be a highly complex task. Since this great and easy to use software makes heavy use of non-supported, Apple internal API's of the Mail application, the effort for customizing this software to Snow Leopard is estimated with at least 40 hours.

With the introduction of Mac OS X Snow Leopard ( 10.6.0) the plugin GPGMail unfortunately does not work anymore.
