Unhappy Gui Pgp?

I noticed GnuPG, as well as (http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthr...&highlight=PGP) but I was wondering if Mr. Zimmer came out with an OS X version of PGP desktop, or any other GUI PGP client.

I don't really want to use the command line...

If you search VersionTracker.com for 'PGP' and 'GPG' you'll find the latest versions of the following Apps.

PGPKeys: A key manager program for OS X. Very neat and reliable, full GUI but simply calls terminal for creating keys, so you can see what it is doing.

GPG-Mail (or is it PGP-Mail?): This is an interface for Apple Mail that adds a PGP control panel to the mail preferences, PGP encrytpion functions to the Message menu, and icons for dropping onto the button-bar. This is a FANTASTIC program and just what you need. You need to read install instructions though as you'll need to activate Bundles (change a line in mail prefs file) in order to use it.

GPG-Prefs: A preferences pane in system preferences that gives you additional controls over your PGP system. Handy, and well presented.

I hope this helps you!

BTW, I suggest using GnuPG as your PGP system. Their security seems okay, their code is open, and it is ready-built for OS X.

And, if you use MS Entourage, there is an interface for that, though it uses scripts called from the script menu, nowhere near as elegant as GPG-Mail. At least, last time I checked, anyway...
