GnuPG: privacy for Windows

If you want to use encryption on Windows [or Linux for that matter] for free, use GPG and Thunderbird + enigmail.

It's pretty easy to use the Thunderbird interface. I installed enigmail, setup my gpg path (I use cygwin on Windows so I pointed the path to the cygwin bin area). And then it's automagically decrypts my emails! [I have not tried to encrypt yet...]

To use gmail with GPG check out this: Gmail, PGP, and the End to End Solution

Here is my DannyHSDad public key.
