> Nice write up. I have had two customers who had me install PGP in Apple email, which was fairly painless.

Mail.app supports PGP? How?

I use to use this plugin: https://gpgtools.org/

can affirm that gpgtools + mail.app is close to seamless, once the keys are already exchanged.

But only if it works with your OS version. It always takes them a few months to support the update. I'm not complaining. It's not like they're a giant company making megabucks to support it. But if you buy a new Mac today with Sonoma pre-installed, you're gonna have to wait a while before you can encrypt your email.

The free version of this software is available at https://github.com/Free-GPGMail/Free-GPGMail

Wow, I didn't know that existed. Nice!

When I used GPGMail, I didn't mind giving them a few dollars to support it. It's nice to not have to, though.

So I guess Apple Mail + Keychain Access is all it takes https://support.apple.com/guide/mail/sign-or-encrypt-emails-...

Pretty neat!

(Edit: not technically PGP, but PKI)
