Well FISA ’08 passed, it’s time to revisit PGP (GnuPG)

Well, in 1999 or so, I was probably trying to get PGP working with Gnus in Emacs. In 2000/2001 I was probably trying to get gnupg (GPG) working with Mutt. Somewhere between then and now I probably had it working with Thunderbird. Now I’ve got it working with Gmail, GnuPG, FireGPG and Firefox. Yay for progress?

(I will link this up later so it makes some sense to non-techies) For now, check out this tutorial:
GMail email encryption supported in Firefox via FireGPG

Note that this was inspired by seeing a baby pic from a Linux ubernerd in Germany with a GPG-generated PGP key at the end of it. Yay for babies!!!
