Well, the issue is probably that it involves figuring out the web interface and
whatnots, and with Javascript enabled, you can't make sure that the text you
type into the textbox isn't sent ahead of time before it gets encrypted (which
most webmail does nowadays so that a mail that's being typed can be
automatically saved as a draft on the server).
There are ways around it, by having an extension that creates it's own
"secure" textbox (that is not part of the web interface, but created
as part of the browser UI. It shouldn't be too hard to do with Mozilla/Gecko/XUL
based browser extensions), encrypt the text, and fill up the web-form with the
encrypted text. However there's also a chance of a malicious site or script that
mimic the "secure" textbox, and manage to trick the user who may
either be careless, or just sleepy and wasn't paying attention.
To avoid all that, the best would be to use a separate application that is more
"secure" for this purpose. In the end, it's probably best to use a
modified email client to do the job.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
