Regarding the below, no, nothing has changed with the new version. Let me rephrase the question: can ANYBODY reading this, pick an email address to send an encrypted message to and then select a key which is not tied directly to that email address? There used to be a drop-down menu for selecting this, it doesn't exist anymore.
To the dev: in your own support area, you already have two tickets for this, you know the feature doesn't even exist in the current build, so why would you possibly suggest that re-installing everything would make a non-existent feature function?
There's another one from a few weeks back on the same topic I can't find off-hand.
The feature can't possibly work for anybody, because it's not present in the current release. I can't find the other ticket, but the answer was that some kind of terminal hack work-around would be offered to associate keys with a given email address before a proper fix took place.
I'm ok with waiting, but why make people go around in circles with re-installing something that doesn't work for anybody (that specific feature)?
I'm also giving the app 5 stars because it's a sweet setup for GPG in Mail.app and I have faith that it will eventually work. But the devs answer is kind of misleading.
Still does nothing. Following the link above it seems to not work because it isn't re-implemented in the Lion version yet. At least I know it's not something dumb I'm doing personally.
I'm guessing the dev replying is whatever person is in charge of responding to GPGTools messages on MacUpdate but doesn't necessarily know what anybody is talking about. No, re-installing won't fix a feature that hasn't been added back in for the Lion builds yet.
Hi all, thanks for the feedback. Just to clarify: the feature in question has not yet been implemented yet and Spherical Cube got the right ticket link for this feature. We hope we can implement this soon.
I used to use this app but I don't really have 1) a need as my life is mundane and 2) none of my friends use keys or send or receive encrypted mail or files. So, I have abandoned it. That said, it is a powerful tool and an unbreakable solution that is both elegant and well-implemented.
I don't know if my problem is the same one the people below are talking about but I can't select any keys for the sender, all of which are in my keychain, all of which worked in Snow Leopard. Nothing is selectable I only get the grey icons. Please help.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, by I can't select any keys for the sender, I don't mean myself, my own key works, I mean the public key for the person I want to send mail TO. I can't send TO anybody by picking their key! I see no way to pick their key!!
Hey K, thanks for reporting back. Could you please try the new version GPGMail 2.0a21 and let us know if it solves your issue? It might be the best idea, to re-run the GPGTools Installer so you can make sure all components are on their latest version.
If you still have problems please open a discussion on our support page so we can troubleshoot you. Feel free to post the link to your discussion here on MU, so people can follow if they want to. http://support.gpgtools.org/
I'm having a very hard time using GPGMail on Lion. Under Snow Leopard I used to be able to select the keys used for encrypting a message under a drop-down menu. This no longer exists (for me anyway). I just see a lock and sign icon, the lock icon is greyed out because I want to send email to somebody @gmail.com, but their key is from @someotheremail.com address.
Am I doing something wrong? This used to work. I can't seem to pick a public key to encrypt against anymore, this worked perfectly in Snow Leopard.
It's a very nice package and a lot of work was done to put it together and it's free, so I gave it 5 stars, but I can't seem to use it (hoping it's just something dumb I'm doing).
I've got the same problem. Installed the GPGTools installer pkg. Encryption works when sending from/to the exact email embedded in the keys themselves. If I want to pick a key for the recipient, the lock icon stays grey. I can't pick any keys. Same exact thing as above. This worked fine in the last Snow Leopard version.
Dear all,

I installed this as part of the GPGTools Installer (2011.11.10) package and it works great on my 10.7.2 Lion installation). The polish and ease of use, deserves a BIG thumbs up to the authors and I sent them a modest donation to authenticate my praise. Thanks guys!
It's probably not very easy to handle for newbies-due mainly to the command line nature of GnuPG-, but it's a great addition.
ONE TIP/HINT: Do not use MacGPG2 v2.0.14 r2 with GPGMail 1.3.0. They do work together, but at the moment MacGPG2 is unable to store PGP key passwords in the MacOSX keychain under Snow Leopard (10.6.4). Maybe this will change in the future, but right now you have to install GnuPG 1.4.9 for MacOSX, otherwise you have to type in your PGP key passwords manually every time you send a signed or encrypted email.
It would be great to included a correct/working GnuPG build within the GPGMail distribution.
Please take the time and file an issue on the GitHub page. Otherwise it won't get noticed. And also you can discuss this issue on the Github page once the issue is there.
You have to sign up with GitHub but please do so, it's worth it.
Then go here: http://github.com/gpgmail/GPGMail/issues and tab create issue.
Kankei71, we identified this problem. I assume the font you are using is OpenType. If that is the case please use e.g. http://www.freefontconverter.com/ to confert it to a TrueType font. Not sure if that works with japanese language though. We are aware of this bug and investigating it. Let us know, if that works for you.
Awesome! Thanks to everyone involved in keeping this alive. It's been a long time since this saw official updates. Now it's back to life and I congratulate all the devs and the community around them for this effort. Great work :)
The GPGMail project is alive and well. It is in the midst of setting up a new central location on the web for information and distribution. In the meantime, I will attempt to act as liaison.
The Mac OS X 10.6.4 update disables the most recent version of the GPGMail bundle. Today the project lead provided this version specifically (only) for 10.6.4 users:
A working GPGMail.mailbundle under 10.6.2 can be downloaded from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/112247/GPGMail.mailbundle.zip. Install the original version from Stéphane Corthésy then replace the mailbundle at ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ with the downloaded file. Works in Apple Mail 4.2 (1077). Over 95% functionality returned!!
Current version of GPGMail (1.2.0) is NOT compatible with coming Snow Leopard's Mail.
New Mail's internals changed a lot, like it did with all major revisions of Mac OS X, and as Apple doesn't give any documentation nor any support for such an unsupported plugin, developers have to work by trials and errors. Based on my experience of previous compatibility work, I can estimate that the workload to make GPGMail compatible with Snow Leopard is at least 40 hours, for me.
Unfortunately I no longer have spare time to do that work (I've always been working on GPGMail during my spare time, not during my work time).
Some people proposed their help, but at this time no one has been able to find enough time to actually do the work. For unexperienced people it will take much more time to do it.
In consequence, there will not be an update of GPGMail for Snow Leopard in the coming months, not even a beta version.
If serious people want to do the work, I will gladly try to help them as much as I can; just contact me.
I'm sorry to leave you without GPGMail on Snow Leopard; until someone does the port, you'll have to rely on Thunderbird and its Enigmail plugin.
After installing GPGMail 1.0.2 the applescript asks if you'd like to launch mail now. I said yes, and was very surprised that the Classic App called Mail (in Internet Utilities) launched instead rather than Mail.

tl;dr version: It doesn't work for anybody. It's supposed to be back in 2.0b1 release.

Noticed this on the GPGMail Changes page (http://www.gpgmail.org/changelog.html) for v1.3.1:
