<p>sounds like you are new to encryption. Not a problem. As an
entry, let me suggest you read our quick start guide: <a href=
"http://support.gpgtools.org/kb/how-to/first-steps-where-do-i-start-where-do-i-begin">
http://support.gpgtools.org/kb/how-to/first-steps-where-do-i-start-...</a></p>
<p>That explains how mail encryption is working. In the (too fast)
tutorial video, you can also see, how GPGServices are used.</p>
<p>Encrypting text is simply. After <a href=
"http://support.gpgtools.org/kb/faq/how-do-i-activate-gpgservices">http://support.gpgtools.org/kb/faq/how-do-i-activate-gpgservices</a>
activating the GPGServices you should be able to do that via
right-click and services-menu.</p>
<p>Hope this helps :)<br>

text? I have the GPG services activated, but when I highlighted a
pgp public code and tried to import it I got:<br>
Import failed!<br>
Code = 0</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Schneurtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/175468942012-07-27T09:27:50Z2012-07-27T09:27:51ZHow To Encrypt Text Only Messages (not email)<div><p>Hello Schneur,</p>
<pre>
<code>I am new to this as well and have Mac OS X 10.5.8 on macbook. After reading the tutorials, I cannot seem to access the services under the keyboard shortcuts in order to activate. Do I not have the proper software to do this?</code>

<p>Thanks a bunch!</p></div>Johntag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/175468942012-07-27T15:41:49Z2012-07-27T15:41:49ZHow To Encrypt Text Only Messages (not email)<div><p>Hi Schneur,</p>
<p>Could you please visit <a href=
"http://nightly.gpgtools.org/">http://nightly.gpgtools.org/</a> and
download the latest GPGTools_Installer-trunk.dmg file.</p>
<p>Run that on your system and see if the problem persists.</p>
<p>@John: Not sure I understand your input. Do you have a
question?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

rather bad news. GPGServices is >=10.6 only currently.</p>
<p>Any chance you could update your system?</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/175468942012-08-15T08:54:23Z2012-08-15T08:54:23ZHow To Encrypt Text Only Messages (not email)<div><p>No further user feedback. Closing.</p>
