Anyone got any thoughts on the below? <br>
<br>
I've only done limited things with TB on the Mac. <br>

Off the top of my head, with only a little bit of investigating, the
issue is you need GNUPG on the command line and then you install
EnigMail add-on to TB.<br>
<br>
To get GNUPG I know of two methods:<br>
<br>
1) Install XCode; the Apple Developer tools. (Not sure if this is
really necessary and it's >1GB download!)<br>
2) Install Brew - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://brew.sh/">http://brew.sh/</a> and then do<br>
3) brew install gnupg<br>
<br>
It's non-trivial in that those are tools for developers/devops and a
non-tech user will probably get stuck.<br>
<br>
The other method is GPGTools - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gpgtools.org/">https://gpgtools.org/</a><br>
<br>
It was free, but then it went donations, and now it looks like their
going to ask for payment.<br>
<br>
If you've got OS X 10.9 or before then you're okay on the free
version.<br>
<br>
OS X 10.10 (aka Yosemite) is a beta version that may end up a pay
version.<br>
<br>
that kind of sucks then, as GNUPG is Free Software, so perhaps
there's another way through this.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps for now,<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Mike.<br>

Hi there, <br>

Vitaliy, Lets' see if there is any response from the original
writers, <br>
<br>
Hi Sacha or any other writers on the list. <br>
Do you have any thoughts on this below, I know you were around
when it was being written.<br>
<br>
I'll also forward it to the hacktionlab / and Tech Tools lists
that I'm on to see if they can help. <br>

Hi guys,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am working on translation/update of the ENCRYPT YOUR
EMAIL WITH GPG manual into Russian. There are two major
issues, which I would like to discuss with the developers of
the document. Both regarding OS X tools.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><b>Issue 1:</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The manual contains the following bit of text:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>”Note on OSX Mail: It is possible to use PGP with
the build-in mail program of OSX. But we do not
recommend this because this option relies on a hack of
the program which is neither open or supported by its
developer and breaks with every update of the mail
program. So unless you really have no other option we
advice you to switch to Mozilla Thunderbird as your
default mail program if you want to use PGP.” </i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is hack the right word here? In my opinion we shall
rather modify this section, leaving as disadvantage only
the necessity to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://gpgtools.org/news">pay for the modified
GPG tools version for each further major OSX update</a> (starting
with Yosemite). What do you guys think? Are there any
other disadvantages to be mentioned?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Issue 2:</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The manual says (OS X section):</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"<i>In the main window you should go OpenGPG >
Preferences > Advanced (you may need to tick Expert
Settings) and in the Override With box browse to the <font
color="#831100">gpg.exe</font> file in the folder
where you installed GPG. If this doesn't help then try
the Enigmail forum.</i>"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>OS X doesn’t use .exe files by default. It seems to be
a mistake/copy paste from Windows text. Shall we maybe
replace/remove it?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I look forward to getting your suggestions on these two
issues. Thanks a lot in advance!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Vitaliy</div>
