Hi, just upgraded to Lion and re-installed GPGTools and everything seems to work using my keys, but prior to my upgrade to Lion I was able to encrypt mail with a passphrase only option that could be sent without the recipients public key. The recipient only needed GPG installed and to know the passphrase that I used to encrypt. Is this option no longer available in Lion? If so, please help me to activate again. Was a very nice option to have rather than using keys.

Thank you,
Craig Billingsley

    Hi, Craig,

    Symmetric encryption is not yet supported in the all-new GPGMail for Lion nor in GPGServices.

    It's on the developers list though.
