Looking for help in all the wrong places...YouTube used to have a file.

[K***@gmail.com]

YouTube used to have a file, about fifteen minutes long or so, wherein a very gentle female voice took us by the hand to install GnuPG, Thunderbird and Enigmail with all the proper switches flipped so everything just worked.

Now that I've re-formatted and re-installed a particularly recalcitrant Windows7 laptop, I'm searching for that video how-to and (sigh) it's no where to be found.



Anybody have a handle on its whereabouts?

Hi, Ken!

I see you have received no reply as yet. I was never aware of such a video,
else I may have archived it at home and posted it in the files area on our
Yahoo Group.

Hi mike. Thanks for the note. One thing I recall about it was that the narrator made specific mention of a change ( to something ) which would make life easier for exchanging encrypted email with everyone except those who used a particularly old-fashioned email system. The speaker was referring to MS Outlook ( ha! ) and I recall that whatever she was advocating allowed flawless encrypting of HTML coded mail, not requiring us to send everything in plaintext or screw up the signature.

I suppose all this had been solved years ago, but I'm just getting back in this game. I played with 2.6.2 many moons ago, and paid Phil's company for a version 8 or something like that, but the world is now a different place, and I'm into Linux now, so alas, most of what I once knew is uninteresting history, even to me.

Cheers,
Ken

The news is all good, Ken. If you enjoy rich text email and want to
use encryption other than S/MIME you can and should use PGP/MIME
(older plugins for MS clients would only support PGP inline message
format). Way back in the days of old Linux users preferred PGP/MIME
and Windows users preferred inline messages but Enigmail for
Thunderbird brings PGP/MIME seamlessly to all GnuPG or PGP enabled OS.
The old caveats and workarounds do not apply except to those who
linger in outdated versions.

A Thunderbird user need only install and configure GnuGP or PGP, then
install and set preferences for the Enigmail plugin for Thunderbird.

Give it a go and send us a signed reply (hint: set a rule in Enigmail
for mail sent to PGP-Basics to be signed using inline message format
(you can still rely on your global setting to always use PGP/MIME if
you allow key selection by rules and addresses)).
