Add OpenPGP Email Security to Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape or Mozilla

By , About.com Guide

Plain text emails are like postcards. Everybody can (and if she is really interested possibly will) read what you send and receive. Cryptography is the solution and ensures that only the intended recipient can decipher your message.

Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape and Mozilla come with great support for S/MIME built in. OpenPGP is the rivaling "standard", and you can add support for it easily.

Enigmail works with both Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape and Mozilla, and supports both PGP and GnuPG as its encryption backend, providing comfortable message security.
