So far, the best way I found to sign or encrypt emails using PGP on Roundcube as well as Gmail and many other supported web-based email readers. Now if I only could get it to communicate with OpenPGP...

Leider fehlen noch einige Funktionen, wie formatierte Mails. Aber dafür funktioniert Mailvelope wenigstens und ist unkompliziert bei der Bedienung.
