I have just released Herbrip version 0.3.1. Herbrip aims to
be an easy-to-use public-key email encryption program; a bit
like PGP or GnuPG, but effortless to use in normal operation,
because public keys are exchanged transparently. Also,
header lines and attachments are automatically encrypted
(and decrypted at the other end).
Herbrip is part of my Herbivore initiative to encourage more
people to use encrypted email. Herbrip is a command-line
implementation of the Herbivore protocol (the name stands for
"Herbivore Reference Implementation in Python").
At the moment, Herbrip contains a working encryption engine;
but it is not yet useful for end users, as it hasn't been
integrated into any email clients. This is what I plant to
do next.
The main change in Version 0.3.1 is that processing an email
for encryption or decryption may result in more than one output
emails, for example if I Cc: a message to several people, I
will have to send a separate message to each one, encrypted in
the recipient's public key.
Herbrip is available from:

Herbrip is licenced under the GNU GPL.
