I run Firefox on OpenSUSE 13. 1
I want to send mails to my friend and they are encrypted. But if I use Gmail and switch to plain-text then the mails look so awful to me. (see below)

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
1Looks like a regular encoded message, nothing wrong as far as I can see. Only your friend needs to decode the message. – Rik Verbeek – 2014-11-20T20:01:46.730
That’s a PGP encrypted message. If you want to send it to your friend you need to send it as a plaintext attachment. And they need to have your PGP public key. As it stands, the encrypted message looks good. That is what encryption does! Add a PGP public key to this and the message can be decrypted and all should be readable. – JakeGould – 2014-11-20T20:17:46.560
