Hot on the heels of Matt Haughey’s fine post about the difficulties of using encryption in Mail.app, comes an update to GPGMail.

This plugin is a front end for gpg and allows you to send and receive encrypted messages. It extends Mail.app’s in-built encryption features in several useful ways.

You can read about the features it offers and its limitation on the GPGMail site.

The new version fixes a compatibility problem with MailTags, needs GPG 1.4 or better, works better in Panther, has a Dutch localisation, works better with AppleScript-generated windows and solves a number of other bugs. (Full changelog ).

The developer warns, “GPGMail is a complete hack, relying on Mail’s private internal API. Use it at your own risks!” But don’t let that put you off.
