Beginning with #Thunderbird 78, #OpenPGP support will be built into Thunderbird and #Enigmail will no longer work.
The set of people with whom I communicate with #GPG is very small and growing smaller, so this will not have much of an impact.

With the sudden realization that #Enigmail has been able to decrypt #email permanently upon reception for the last 3 years, I'm excited about using #PGP #crypto w/ #Enigmail again! But, oh, just in time for me #Mozilla broke Enigmail in #Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=909000 #ugh

I actually do really want to secure my data in transit; but it's frustrating to the point of deterrence that the tools for secure transit seem to frequently create more problems for data at rest. #Enigmail maintained similar barriers to PGP use for years, for example: http://status.hackerposse.com/conversation/44450#notice-52884 #crypto

How to make sure the #Enigmail file you downloaded is the real deal: 1) Download the file and its ‘Open PGP’ signature: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/7025 2) Learn that you must download the key the packages have been signed with: http://status.hackerposse.com/url/7026 3a) Download gpg-curl and configure gpg to download keys securely, as described in http://status.hackerposse…

The biggest problem with #GnuPG encrypted e-mail is that the meta-data is not encrypted, so I expect that #Darkmail will be designed to fix this. The other biggest problem with GnuPG encrypted e-mail is that GnuPG offers no forward secrecy - if your keys are compromised, so are all your previous messages encrypted with those keys. I hope Darkmail fixes that too. And the other other…
