Agreed, it depends on your use case, but for sure Thunderbird is a heavy-weight. Turn on message filtering, and it has a particularly nasty memory-leak I find: brings my desktop at work (with 16GB RAM) to its knees after about 3 days running. > So for now I sign and send email (prepared in message.txt) with this: > > openssl smime -sign -in message.txt -text -signer sec/certCVUT.mycrt.pem \ > -inkey sec/certCVUT.mykey.pem -certfile sec/certCVUT.caChain.pem \ > -from rudolf.syk...@cvut.cz -to rsyk...@disroot.org \ > -subject "HI" | sendmail -t > > where certCVUT.mycrt.pem contains my certificate, > certCVUT.mykey.pem contains my private key, and > certCVUT.caChain.pem contains the chain of ca's. > All these can be obtained from the .p12 file using > appropriate openssl commands. As I say, it depends on whether you're after S/MIME or OpenPGP; and Tony's advice was for OpenPGP. Thunderbird on its own can do S/MIME. For completeness; signing and encrypting an email using GnuPG and sendmail: prepare message.txt; headers.txt, then $ gpg --encrypt --clear-sign -a -r rsyk...@disroot.org < message.txt \ | cat headers.txt - \ | sendmail -t would probably do the trick. (Untested) -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
