I'll ask the inevitable... Can we expect a new version of the plugin which is compatible with Snow Leopard's Mail.app?
Do you mean GPGMail? If so, then I'm afraid the answer is no - http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=999042
"Posted By: davelopper Date: 2009-08-26 08:31 Summary: GPGMail & Snow Leopard (10.6)
Dear Users,
Current version of GPGMail (1.2.0) is NOT compatible with coming Snow Leopard's Mail. New Mail's internals changed a lot, like it did with all major revisions of Mac OS X, and as Apple doesn't give any documentation nor any support for such an unsupported plugin, developers have to work by trials and errors. Based on my experience of previous compatibility work, I can estimate that the workload to make GPGMail compatible with Snow Leopard is at least 40 hours, for me. Unfortunately I no longer have spare time to do that work (I've always been working on GPGMail during my spare time, not during my work time). Some people proposed their help, but at this time no one has been able to find enough time to actually do the work. For unexperienced people it will take much more time to do it. In consequence, there will not be an update of GPGMail for Snow Leopard in the coming months, not even a beta version. If serious people want to do the work, I will gladly try to help them as much as I can; just contact me.
I'm sorry to leave you without GPGMail on Snow Leopard; until someone does the port, you'll have to rely on Thunderbird and its Enigmail plugin".
Any queries should probably be directed to the GPGMail list - http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=gpgmail-users

Does raise a question about Apple's intent to develop its own crypto as with everything else consumers have come to expect inside a pretty package of magic. Which PGP may be well aware of, with as ever, an assist from Microsoft's inside spies at Apple. Clunkers ban together. To be sure, Apple's spies inside Mircosoft and PGP are not idly spreading rumors of Linux ever-more tentacular prowess. Doubly sure, the spies and liars may be the same in all instances, doing the CEOs' dirty to slip into IBM's inner pants to see what's highly erectile functioning. Learning from NSA who learned from the British who tortured the Muslims who bung-holed the Greeks who cheated the Sumerians who grabbed from the Egyptians who, let it be said, Gaddafi shouts, we all out-gunned the paranoid sub-saharans by poisoning their wells, and little noticed in this circle jerk fingerpointing is the quiet claim by the central africans about the lasting effectiveness of viral ebola and ball-shriveling AIDS. Anybody who thinks viral bots are a western invention is historically, vaingloriously blind to conceal claims of originiality to hide buglary and theft-- which is a prime definition of western civ. Its not the strong math and weak implementation that assures success in crypto business and WMDs, its the knife in the back, i.e., the financiers behind the arms. Akbar, akbar.

To be strictly accurate, the problem is with GPGMail, the plugin that integrates GPG with Apple's Mail application (as Mail internals changed significantly between Leopard and Snow Leopard). GPG itself seems to work just fine under Snow Leopard, albeit on the command line. David
