Encrypting your email
Now, encrypting your email...if you are using Eudora or (god
forbid!!) Outlook, then you could have opted to use the PGP plug-ins
for either of them. However, if you don't use either of
the two mail clients, then in order to encrypt your email, can
choose a couple of options.
First, using an email client such as Netscape, you can easily
encrypt the file as described above, and attach it to the email.
Another option is to type what you want into the message area
of the email, and then highlight it and click 'ctrl-c' to copy
the text to the clipboard. Then right-click on the PGP Tray
icon on the TaskBar (the little lock) and choose 'Encrypt &
Sign Clipboard'. The PGPKeys window will open, and you need
to choose to whom you wish to encrypt the message. You'll
be prompted for your passphrase, as the message will be signed,
so that your friend (who has your public key) will know that
it's from you. Once the text on the clipboard is encrypted, go
back to the email (or file) and highlight the text again, and
click 'ctrl-v' (hold down the control key and hit 'v') and the
encrypted message will be pasted into the email over the original
message.
************************************************************
NEWBIE NOTE: If the PGP Tray icon isn't on your TaskBar,
check your Startup folder. If it's not in the Startup folder,
add a shortcut to PGPTray.exe to the folder.
If at any time you are having difficulty trying to do anything
with your keys, simply open the Help in PGP. The help documents
are very good...they are clear, descriptive, and concise.
