Encrypting mail in Thunderbird

Conclusions

GnuPG in combination with Enigmail offers users many more features; for example, you can validate other people's keys, link multiple identities to a key pair, or revoke your key. Many of these functions are launched directly in Enigmail, whereas others require a detour to the command line. See the GnuPG documentation for a command and option reference [4].
