Sign emails with ssh-dsa-key ?

Tags:

Hi,
I created my ssh-dsa keys with the ssh utilities.
Can I use these keys for things like mail signing,
mail and/or file crypting or anything else ?
Or is it a special format which I can use only for ssh ?

At least my Thunderbird does not like these keys.
Or I did not find the option.

Thanks,
Andreas

right, it is about who is left.

If you are using ThunderBird there is an extension for that.
