[TriLUG] Enigmail

[Barry Peddycord]

I started using Enigmail last night on my Xubuntu laptop - it's nice
since Thunderbird doesn't support PGP by default like Evolution does.

I also suggest using 'seahorse' and the 'seahorse-nautilus' programs for
user-friendly key management. It will keep track of your keychain and
makes it easy to sign the keys of others, give you right-click sign and
encrypt functionality, and other useful functions.
