I don't know about Macs, but on Windows, the option is there when using
Current Window usage from PGPtray.

I have found how to do it, it requires to "force" PGP to display the window where encryption key(s) can be selected manually to encrypt to a recipient. That window includes two additional options that can be set: conventional encryption, secure viewer.

In order to "force" (for lack of a better term) PGP to display that window, one must go through the Services menu (Mac OS X), which might be something similar to PGPtray.

The resulting message (composed with secure viewer selected) is decrypted by PGP in the usual "visible" way, even when using the Services menu. Moreover, when decrypting that same message with GnuPG, the decrypted text shows but the GPG Output does not display any mention of for-your-eyes-only.

All this requires some more testing (and some attention from PGP); it's interesting to note that, as I reported previously, a message composed with GnuPG, with the for-your-eyes-only and output options enabled, is correctly decrypted by PGP 9.0.1, using the secure viewer window.

I should add that although this really does send the message as desired, the Secure Viewer is only used for me when decrypting via Current Window usage - the email proxy decrypts as usual, as if that flag had never been
set.


I have tried decrypting that secure viewer message using PGP from the Services menu, and from the Dock, but without getting the decrypted text to show in a secure viewer window. Only a message composed with GnuPG and the required options gets PGP 9.0.1 to use the secure viewer window.
