I thought Vista had encryption???

Probably depends on the version.. theres so fricken many :rolleyes:

Not built into email clients like thunderbird - you can encrypt files, but that's about it.
Ah!
Perhaps this will work as it is supposed to be cross-platform and the latest version is less than a month old.
As it is a plugin to the mail client rather than a stand alone application, I would expect it to work if the mail client does. I have only seen it working under XP and 2000 myself, but it should be worth a look?
It is also supposed to be PGP compatible :D

N.B. It is for Thunderbird and Sea Monkey only.
Whoa! I downloaded the OpenPGP signature, then attempted the Enigmail download but it wanted to install as a Firefox extension which isn't what I had in mind. I don't suppose OpenPGP signature is enough?
I'm not too sure.
I think that you need to change account settings in Thunderbird to get it to use enigmail?

to encrypt my files i use truecrypt and happy with it
Hi there Beee,
1. Does that work with the Vista OS?
2.Will it integrate seamlessly with Thunderbird?
:confused:
TrueCrypt works great with vista OS (at least the home version)
but I don't use Thunderbird so I can't say yes or no on that...
