It looks like fejj and notzed have made good progress with the encryption in evolution. I'm a little gun-shy of the cvs HEAD stuff, or I'd be building it now. I'll wait for the release, unless you guys feel really strongly that it's pretty stable. I suffer from the fact that evolution is so darn handy, I depend on it now, and I can't spend a day or two (or a week or two) not getting mail if the HEAD revision has some problem. I congratulate the evolution team on their efforts to support encryption in evolution. I've never had any real problem sending encrypted matter to myself or others with evolution. But I have had big probs sending encrypted matter to non-evolution users. It's not been evolution's problem in the cases I've seen, but as far as I can tell, Microsoft either is not able to provide direct PGP support, doesn't want to, or has such brain-dead hooks for 3rd party software, that no one can provide good support (based on the success of the PGP i/f with any other than PGP output). I don't know about any of the others. Unfortunately, even if evolution is perfect at encryption, until the majority of other packages in use can handle evolution encrypted data, and vice-versa, interoperability is just a far off dream. And encryption for the masses-- forget it. Outlook seems to be be the most used mail interface in the world. I guess if the GPG guys really want to make GPG/pgp a hit, they need to come up with an Outlook interface that is not only as good as what PGP did, but better, and interoperates with all the other (non-braindead at least) mailers. I guess this is nigh unto impossible, as it is evident from using it, that the PGP outlook interface seems to be pretty well thought out, and has a lot of man-hours behind it. Who knows, maybe if they weren't on the verge of going out of business, they may have had the resources to adapt to evolution... murf On Wed, 2002-06-26 at 05:27, Not Zed wrote:
