<h1 id="what-do-you-need">What do you need</h1>
|
|
<p>This depends on your OS. You should also read my previous guides about <a href="GPG.html">GPG</a> and <a href="../Thunderbird-Icedove.html">Icedove / Thunderbird</a>.</p>

|
<h2 id="debian-based-distributins">Debian based distributins</h2>
|
|
<p>You need at least packages icedove or thunderbird and enigmail, but I recommend you to install gnupg2 and pinentry packages too.</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>aptitude install thunderbird enigmail gnupg2 pinentry-curses pinentry-gtk2 pinentry-qt4</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>NOTE: In Debian Thunderbird is called Icedove and the package is icedove.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="mac-os-x">Mac OS X</h2>
|
|
<p>You need <a href="http://www.gpgtools.org/">GPG-tools</a>, <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/">Thunderbird</a> and <a href="http://enigmail.mozdev.org/home/index.php.html">Enigmail</a></p>
|
|
<h2 id="windows">Windows</h2>
|
|
<p>You need <a href="http://www.gpg4win.org/">GPG4Win</a>, <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/">Thunderbird</a> and <a href="http://enigmail.mozdev.org/home/index.php.html">Enigmail</a>.</p>

<h1 id="running-the-enigmail-wizard.">Running the Enigmail wizard.</h1>
|
|
<p>If Enigmail wizard doesn't appear by itself, open it manually from OpenPGP (menu) --> Enigmail wizard.</p>
|
|
<p>NOTE: Allow wizard to do changes, which it wants.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="enable-viewing-messages-in-original-html.">Enable viewing messages in original HTML.</h2>
|
|
<p>You probably want to see the HTML in case the message has been sent using HTML.</p>
|
|
<p>You can see the messages in original HTML easily. Open View (menu) --> Message body as --> Original HTML.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="if-the-wizard-fails">If the wizard fails</h2>

<h3 id="sending-plaintext">Sending plaintext</h3>
|
|
<p>This is documented in my <a href="../Thunderbird-Icedove.html#sending-utf-8">Icedove / Thunderbird guide</a>.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="signing-by-default.">Signing by default.</h3>
|
|
<p>Open Edit --> Account Settings --> OpenPGP security and select "Enable OpenPG support (Enigmail) with this user information". Then select "Use specific OpenPGP key" and press the "select key" button. Now just select your private key.</p>
|
|
<p>After you have selected the key, I recommend you to select the first and the second boxes, which are about signing.</p>
|
|
<p>Remember to do this for multiple identities. Select the account and then click the "manage identities" button.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="sending-utf-8">Sending UTF-8</h2>
|
|
<p>I have documented this in my <a href="../Thunderbird-Icedove.html#sending-utf-8">Icedove / Thunderbird guide</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>This only changes the charset line to UTF-8 or removes the mentioning of charset in signature.</p>

|
<p>Adele is PGP email bot. You can send email to it and it will tell you if it can decrypt your email or is it signed.</p>
|
|
<p>You can get the PGP key of Adele by running</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>gpg2 --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 92AB3FF7</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>Just send your email to adele-en@gnupp.de and it will reply shortly.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="sending-pgpmime-instead-of-pgpinline">Sending PGP/MIME instead of PGP/INLINE</h1>
|
|
<p>PGP/MIME puts the signature to signature.asc ataachment and PGP/INLINE into "mess" in the bottom of email.</p>
|
|
<p>WARNING: This might not work with some mailing lists (for example Ubuntu, Mozdev and GnuPG mailing lists)!</p>
|
|
<p>There is open bug report about PGP/MIME not working on Ubuntu MLs at LaunchPad, <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/996581">996581</a></p>
|
|
<p>NOTE: If you want to sign emails and use HTML at the same time, you <em>must</em> use PGP/MIME or otherwise your signature cannot be verified!</p>
|
|
<p>To send PGP/MIME by default, open Edit --> Account Settings --> OpenPGP security and check "Use always PGP/MIME".</p>
|
|
<p>Remember to check to do this for your all identities in case you have more than one of them. Edit --> Account Settings --> "Manage Identities..." button and after selecting identity, you can find OpenPGP security tab.</p>
|
|
<h1 id="openpgp-headers.">OpenPGP headers.</h1>
|
|
<p>To enable sending OpenPGP headers, return to OpenPGP settings (mentioned above) and click "advanced".</p>
|
|
<p>Select the both checkboxes and write URL where your key is located. If you don't have homepage, you can link to webui of your preferred keyserver.</p>
|
|
<p>These headers appear in email source like this:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>OpenPGP: id=82A46728;
|
|
url=http://mkaysi.github.com/PGP/key.txt</code></pre>
