It could be very usefull if it was possible to define rules of which public key to use for an email address. When you write a new email, then let FireGPG check if the email address in the "TO:" field match any of the emails in the rule list and use the specific key automaticly. In the rule list of email linked to a public key, you should also be able to choose if you want the email to this specific person to be signed or/and cryptet.

If you add more than one key to an email address, the user can be notified of which one to use before sending the mail.

I believe signing and crypting emails should work in the background without you knowing it, and simply show when the email are signed and crypted.

Ok. I understand the attachment thing...

On the key thing... You as a gmail user are the one who define the list which FireGPG would eventually use to detect what to do. My idea is that you only need to attach one key to an email address. When you choose a email in the "To:" field, FireGPG checks your list if there are any match on the email. If there are any, it fetch the key and sign/crypt it.

I know you said its technically possible to have more than one key for an email address. But isnt it the same which of the two keys are used? The receiver would get it and it will be decrypted anyway... and both are happy. Maybe it could be possible to store several keys to an email in the rule list, and in those cases where there is more than one key, let the user choose.

It would be really nice to not think about to sign and crypt emails everytime. I think signing and crypting emails are like backups... if you need to do it manually all the time, you simply forget it or just dont do it.

Hei

When I try to send a email. It keeps asking me to choose a public key for the user I want to send to (I guess). Where does this list come from?
I already use Enigmail and have add a few keys there in the key manager. Does FireGPG fetch keys from this list???

How can I add more keys in FireGPG/Gmail? Is there a key manager in FireGPG?

Hi

I just started using Enigmail for Thunderbird and are very amazed about this PGP thing. Its cool.

I have a few suggestions:

Is it possible to have FirePGP automaticly choose the correct public key for an email address you sent to? I guess it can be made very simple by just having a list "Options" where you can add email addresses, add a key and choose if it should be signed or/and encrypted.
It could be very cool if it was possible to add public keys to each user/email address on Contacts in Gmail, and the settings were somehow stored in "Options" on the plugin.. I dont know if this is possible, but it would certently be usefull.

Another thing. Why have a different link to add a crypted attachment? Isnt it possible to just crypt the attachment who are done with the "gmail" link?

Greetings

Lars Chr.
