That looks quite nice. I do have the same Yubikey and use my subkeys like that - but via USB/on laptop and desktop. For Android: I'd like to see support for this in Boxer. While I do prefer open software, K-9 has been quite unstable for me and has a terrible UX (ever noticed how server-side search is supposed to be used? Or the lack of any error messages at all?). Looking at a bacon/OnePlus One running 12s here the new client looks like a great improvement - but this is one feature I haven't found (or rather, that doesn't seem to exist).

After I installed 12s on my OnePlus One the other day, first thing I did was try Boxer against https://emailprivacytester.com/ https://emailprivacytester.com/ - It failed on the link prefetch test. I reported it and they said they'd look into it. I've heard that the iOS version of Boxer fails quite badly but I've not tested that myself. [edit] The main problem with K-9 Mail IMO, is that it only supports inline PGP. I.e, it doesn't have PGP/MIME support. It's open source, and there is a ~$1000 bug bounty for this functionality at https://www.bountysource.com/issues/815255-pgp-mime https://www.bountysource.com/issues/815255-pgp-mime if anyone wants an Android project.

  Thanks for the link to that test site - I didn't know about that. As for K-9: Apart from doing calls I really just use my phone for mails and K-9 isn't the right choice for me, sadly. I would really love to use an open client, but while I can compromise on quite a bit (trying to migrate to a CM without any GApps is next on the list), a decent mail client is mandatory. (Incidentally that's the reason why I can't use Fx OS so far, the situation is worse over there) Interesting enough: Testing K-9 and Boxer on that site I get one violation in each. Boxer with a 'Link Prefetch' as you said, K-9 with a 'Meta refresh'
