Hello,

I'm a completly new possible user of macgpg.
I want to use it but somme security questions don't be resolved :
I've a Mac with Mac OS 10.5.8 Intel Core 2 duo with AppleMail 3.6 and  
want to download the free software.

I've falled on this site : http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/fr/index.html
which lets download this :
GNU Privacy Guard - pour Mac OS X 10.1 (et suivantes)
Pour Mac OS X 10.4.x et plus nouveau
GnuPG v2.x, now a separate project.
1.4.9, MD5: 36d9eb482a98774521bfd7bb73e4ad06
I've choosen 1.4.9

The link is : http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg/files/GnuPG%20for%20OS%20X/1.4.9/GnuPG1.4.9.dmg/download?use_mirror=garr&download=

But after,  I've read : Never use a GnuPG version you just downloaded  
to check the integrity of the source - use an existing GnuPG  
installation.
on : https://www.gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html
and that's the problem for me :
how can I know if the software downloaded is secure or not ?

I followed the advices :
gpg --verify 1.4.9
sha1sum 1.4.9
etc., on Terminal.app

but never appeared the good suite MD5 of numbers and letters !
history:
'openssl md5 [nomDeFichier]'Last login: Sun Aug 16 17:52:58 on console
Ordinateur-839:~ alain1$ 'openssl md5 [/Users/alain1/Desktop/ 
GnuPG1.4.9.dmg ]'-bash: openssl md5 [/Users/alain1/Desktop/ 
GnuPG1.4.9.dmg ]: No such file or directory

 > openssl md5 [/Users/alain1/Desktop/GnuPG1.4.9.dmg]
 > sha1sum /Volumes/GnuPG\ Mac\ OS\ X\ 1.4.9
 > sha1sum GnuPG1.4.9.dmg
 > sha1sum GnuPG Mac OS X 1.4.9
 > sha1sum 1.4.9

  Thus, my second question :
With which application can I check that the software downloaded is  
secure (writing "openssl md5…")
or
In which Web site can I download a secure GnuPG1.4.9.dmg ? Does it  
compulsorily begin with https ?

Third question :
Have I to put the software into the folder "applications" to install  
it ?

Last question:
This software does it work on AppleMail 3.6 ?

Thanks for your answers.
And excuse me for my unknowledge of softwares...
