GPGMail is a plug-in for Mail.app, providing a front-end to gpg for some operations. GPGMail extends Apple's Mail/MailViewer application and allows you to read and send PGP authenticated and/or encrypted messages. You can use GPGMail for plain and MIME messages, following RFC 3156.
Here are some key features of "GPGMail":
Decrypt
Authenticate
Encrypt New Message
Encryption Keys
Use Passphrase Encryption
Automatic Choice
Choose...(list of public keys)
Sign New Message
Signing Keys (list of secret keys)
Force Use of PGP-MIME
Refresh Keys.
What's New:
Panther: fixed crashes
Tiger: built as Universal Binary
Now needs gpg >= 1.4.x
Tiger: temporarily disabled display of PGP elements in composer window when window is created via AppleScript, to avoid unsolvable bug - you can still change PGP settings via menu Message/PGP.
Mail no longer freezes when with using untrusted keys for encryption
Now fills in automatically PGP Key Download search field as soon as a key is missing (except when already performing search/import)
Fixed passphrase encryption when signature was toggled on
Fixed crash after message delivery failure
Dutch localization by Marc-Siebren Kwadijk
Added hidden user default, GPGOpenPGPExecutablePath
Fixed uncaught exceptions when gpg not configured correctly
Better error message when error related to specific key
Better key server-related error messages (not yet localized though)
Now accepts SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hash algorithms
Fixed compatibility-problem with MailTags
Fixed sorting of keys in key chooser dialog
Fixed bug when "only if message is unread" prefs were followed (when checked) even when automatic decryption/authentication was unchecked
Fixed problem where encryption was not settable until signing had been set, in some cases.
No longer tries to decrypt text/plain attachments
Tries to decrypt/verify application/octet-stream attachments
Fixed alignments in new message window.
