What's the best way to ensure faster turnaround when a new OS X version comes out? Is the constraint money, or is it more that they need more developers?
I used to meticulously sign all my emails with GPG back in the day with mutt. Then, sometime after leaving FreeBSD for the Mac, I decided to move to Mail.app and GPGTools.
Everything worked great, great enough for me to leave mutt behind and painstakingly move my email archives and everything else into a 21st-century gooified mail environment.
And then I upgraded OS X (I think to jag-wire, maybe?) and spent far too long being sad about non-working GPG. Of course to be honest, lagging GPGTools releases were only part of the reason Mail.app eventually came to be the most hated part of my Mac experience. But lagging GPGTools was the thing that stuck in my craw every time.
I used to be really good at email. I was organized and efficient working in it. But now I've totally given up and moved to GMail. My inbox grows like cancer, with a raft of features I don't use like stars and bayesian recommendations.
In anger, I tried mutt a while back. After hours of setup, I found the magic was gone... but at least GPG signing still worked without a hitch.
I used GPGTools before Mountain Lion and was very sad when the update to Mountain Lion broke it, and if I recall correctly it was because Apple more or less totally redid Mail.app and sandboxed it in a way that made it hard to integrate with. Seems like they have sorted this out now, and this should make it for a quicker turn around in the future.
It's been sorted for a while. I've been using it for months, but if you wanted access to it, you had to either pay for it, or build it from source (I want the latter route).
