Thunderbird correctly keeps the message store encrypted, but should be performing decryption on-the-fly for searching, or keep an encrypted, hashed index for speedy searches. But that requires a level of !crypto integration that Enigmail doesn't yet offer.
-
That kind of finagling (cut, copy, encrypt, sign, ascii-armor, paste) all needs to be done automatically in the mail client if !crypto is to be used by the masses

Love how the #Enigmail FAQ says "IF a message was confidential enough to be encrypted…" ☹ https://www.enigmail.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=637 !crypto #FAIL

Not being allowed !crypto for #privacy on an insecure public net unless I also fear for physical #security in my house/office is #bullshit.
-
e.g., #e-mail !crypto in #Thunderbird still means I can't #search *local* messages lest I be vulnerable to someone breaking into my house.
-
I think one of the things that killed #e-mail !crypto was the refusal to store messages decrypted even after they've gone end-to-end.

Yes, and just a “encrypt” button to enable it. I also think maybe it would be a good idea to include a GPG package by default within the installation routine of mail clients.
-
I like the idea of renaming public/private to something like lock/key which would resonate more clearly with the unthinking masses.

@zoowar I meant you would not need to learn a lot about cryptography to handle PGP mail, but people think it is too complicated and/or are too lazy to look at it.
-
I don't follow your second sentence.

@zoowar Most people don’t want to be bothered with anything that is suspected to be too technical and complcated at all. But the use of PGP is really not nice, although you don’t need really dig too deep into crypto.

@whistlewright ... caused people to change their behaviors and to seek out privacy-enhanced, decentralized, encrypted channels.

@whistlewright I wish more people were conscious of their anonymity and privacy. Revealing Soviet-like domestic spying should have ...

My use of tor, the sneakernet, and crypto is a giant #&$@ =+ to the snoops. I have nothing to hide. I am a normal, boring, middle class guy but they need to grow a pair and have the decency and honor to look me in the eyes and ask me. (I'd probably still tell them to go to hades but at least they'd rate higher in my book than damn cowards)

I have been living the paranoid life lately. Since #Snowden I have been much more conscious of my anonymity and privacy. crypto and the darknet are slowly becoming more habit than experiment and the #sneakernet is becoming vital.

@bobjonkman @inscius Also, gov't ID's reliability depends on the medics' & witnesses' testimony of your birth. Not in itself reliable.

You should add that #keysigning party to the #Cryptoparty site https://www.cryptoparty.in/parties/upcoming !crypto
