From Gentoo Wiki (test)
At the very least, GnuPG must be emerged. Many applications today have some sort of support for PGP, so having crypt as a USE flag is a good idea. When desiring an email client capable of using GnuPG any of the following options are well suited:
- PinePGP (mail-client/pinepgp).
- Mutt (mail-client/mutt) - A small but very powerful text-based mail client.
- Thunderbird (mail-client/thunderbird) - Mozilla's e-mail solution.
- Evolution (mail-client/evolution) - A GNOME Microsoft Outlook work alike.
- KMail (kde-apps/kmail) - KDE's mail client.
- Installing KGPG (kde-apps/kgpg) might be of interest when using the KDE desktop environment. This small program allows for the generation of key pairs, importing keys from ASCII files, signing imported keys, exporting keys, among a few other nifty features.
