That's exactly what I'm saying. The original poster asked for web-based
and end-to-end encrypton. To me that means the email is decrypted on the
end user's computer. If it's web based, that means the browser does it.
But, the original poster didn't want java/javascript involved. Another
poster replied that this is easy with things like Thunderbird and GPG. My
response above is saying: "well of course. If you stop using a browser
and start using applications, doing the decryption is easy, you just
write it in C (or whatever)."
