Considering Mutt supports PGP, and this doesn't seem to, yes.
- fxtentacle 14y agoYou're correct on that one. I built this client to make my work with email better. I'm not sure if i have ever received an email with PGP and i'm pretty sure that it would confuse half to all of my colleagues ...
- dfc 14y agoYou need to find better colleagues. Plus multipart mime makes it a lot less confusing for people who do not understand pgp signatures. Long gone are the days where you have to have a giant block of random characters appended to the body of your message.
- roel_v 14y agoNot true. I stopped signing my emails 10-ish years ago because I kept getting people mailing me back that they 'couldn't open my attachments'.
- dfc 14y agoWith multipart mime messages you no longer have a large block of random characters at the bottom of the body of your message. This is a fact. Moreover the mail clients now treat pgp and smime signature attachments in more intuitive manner so users are not tempted to try and open them as easily. Most importantly know your audience, grandma does not need to have your vacation recap emails signed.
- IheartApplesDix 14y agowell since you're working on a mail interface... maybe you could try a frictionless PGP encryption option in the interface? It might be something you at least build a prototype or placeholder for so that it can be implemented fully when going open source.
