I wonder if thunderbird (plus addons?) could help fight phishing in the following way. Say I need to check the authenticity of emails I get from Bob. Is there a way to

1) Get Bob to create digital signature (PGP?) and send it to me ahead of time in secure channel; I store this signature locally (on thunderbird?)

2) Bob sends me an email, with this signature

3) Upon receiving this email, thunderbird automatically verifies the signature against the locally saved one and confirms that the signature is correct

Note: I am looking for automatic verification of message/sender, NOT encryption.

If this can be done, do Bob also needs to use thunderbird (plus addons?), or is there a standard protocol for this (e.g. can this be done via gmail webinterface, outlook, etc?)

THANKS!

p.s. For (1), Bob can e.g. posts his signature on his webpage as well. But my main question is about (3).

Recently I have started to see Thunderbird trying to insert passwords or Yubi key codes in the body of messages without my initiating that. I sent a message this morning and I deleted the codes, but T-Bird started re-inserting them.

Any idea what can cause this behaviour?

Thanks, Jim Darrough

looks like my thunderbird profile was hacked & some email accounts passwords changed, others I have problems send or receiving mail. I've even had emails from the hacker showing my passwords.

I deleted thunderbird &m used a backup profile from Dec24 but still have problems.

I ran Avast which found some trojan files in my thunderbird files, deleted them but I still have probs.

Any idea on a solution?
