OK, I just REALLY want to thank you right now. We will have a small talk when we will want to demonstrate how to easily use mail encryption with popular clients we found out that none of us lecturers even use thunderbird, let alone knows how to set up the encryption. all of use use webmails. we suppose our audience does, too. for this, mailvelope is AWESOME. It "just works". it has one big downside though.... it doesn't support UTF8 in either name of key owner OR in the message itself (it totally mangles all UTF8 input). if you speak with a language that has diacritics (we speak Czech), it sucks a bit. small downside - it doesn't encrypt attachment and doesn't (AFAIK) sign the messages. but if they catch all these issues, it will be great On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 9:16 AM, Eugen Leitl <eugen@leitl.org> wrote:

for whose who has still not see that project, i wanted to send a notice about MailVelope, OpenPGP encryption for webmail: http://www.mailvelope.com
It's a client-side, plug-in based (similar to CryptoCat), OpenPGP email encryption plugin available for Chrome and Firefox.
To compare it with CryptoCat is unfair to MailVelope. As I understand things, CryptoCat has an ongoing reliance on server integrity. On the other hand, MailVelope is self-contained once securely installed, thus providing true peer-to-peer confidentiality and authentication (assuming that the correspondents have confirmed keys out-of-band).
Please correct this if in error.
