The problem is two folds. 1: The users I have in mind do not use these clients. Also, they are of the demography which cannot be made to switch without a lot of difficulty. In fact, in some cases, the user is not likely to switch at all. 2: The users use various web mails which cannot be read via the mail clients. FireGPG was a pretty neat extension which got around both these problems. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.

So is engimail; I can't see them having any more difficulty in setting it up then any other extension. <shrug> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think I might be missing something here. Do you mean to say that Enigmail is an extension for Firefox as well? (I know that it is for Thunderbird). If yes, then please except my apologies since then FireGPG can be replaced with Engimail. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.

Since I have users who primarily use a browser for emails, this extension is useless to them. In other words, Enigmail is orthogonal to what I have been discussing. -- Please reply to this list only.
