bullet, installed Enigmail, and downloaded the old GPG from
Sourceforge.</p>
<p>It seems that every software developer is going for "a complete,
solution!" and assumes that users are sheep, led inevitably to the
next shiny gadget. They're not interested in simple things that
work.</p></div>Reftag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/367193912015-05-02T16:55:53Z2015-05-02T16:55:53ZThunderbird, NOT Mac Mail<div><p>Hi Ref,</p>
<p>I'm not sure I can follow the rant. You do not want to use
Enigmail. And you want to use OpenPGP in Thunderbird.</p>
<p>Not sure, but in that case, Thunderbird and GPGServices is

<p>Ideology aside, I'd consider GPGMail + Mail.app a simple thing
that works.</p>
<p>I'm not sure I understand your use case. If you are a command
line user all you need is MacGPG2. But then again, it seems you
want UI, but you do not want a plugin. Neither for Mail.app nor for
Thunderbird.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
