Security and own Privacy gets more important every day.

Yam should support GnuPG native. http://www.gnupg.org/ PGP on Amiga is quite outdated.

GnuPG support would add up to date PGP support to YAM in an easy way.

There exsits ports for the amiga os/morphos etc.

Shouldnt be to much work as i guess its not to much more then other options calling the gnupg executable.

In fact, even better, YAM should use the gpgme library interface provided by the GPG authors. That means an amigaos port of the gpgme library should be developed/available and YAM should use it accordingly. However, this may require a substantial amount of work, thus we will schedule for a later YAM version for the moment when we have implemented more pressing things like full multithreading or IMAP support.

Regarding PGP/GnuPG: YAM sets a MIME type 'application/pgp' for encrypted mail, http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3156.txt describes the updated, correct way (signatures and keys have their own types).

Still no public GPGme library port for AmigaOS/MorphOS, etc. so we have to move the ticket to 2.9 milestone until we have that.
