Hey gang,
For reasons, I decided to add OpenPGP-based signing and encrypting to
MailMate. Except, I know next to nothing about how to make that
actually work.
I think I successfully installed gnupg with Homebrew, since the error
messages I got in MailMate changed from "can't find gpg" to other stuff,
but I'm still getting error messages when I try to encrypt-- and I still
haven't worked out how one signs a new message without fully encrypting
it.
I generated a public-private key pair using https://pgptools.com/ and I
_think_ I imported their .ASC files into gpg, but again, I'm not clear
if I did it properly.
All of this being a long-winded way of asking: does anyone have a gentle
total-n00b's intro to getting this working? Command line is fine with
me, if that's the best path. Also not wedded to the public/private key
paid I generated online, since I've not shared the public key with
anyone, so I'm happy to generate a new pair locally if that's
recommended.
