The current version of Confidant Mail for Windows includes GPG 1.4.19.
However, the code is written to support version 2.1 and ECC keys. If you
point it to GPG 2.1, it will let GPG handle passphrases, and will let

I think gmail is the single most popular email client, with 500 million

within gmail, pgp/mime will continue to show up as an attachment.
There are ways to use pgp/mime or i

you have to check the key fingerprint (which is always
