[MlMt] Autocrypt?

[Alex Abdo]

Hi Benny and all,

I’m wondering whether there’s any chance that Mailmate will 
implement Autocrypt? Thunderbird and a few other mail clients now 
implement it.

https://autocrypt.org

Here’s how the website describes it:

> Autocrypt is a set of guidelines for developers to achieve convenient 
> end-to-end-encryption of e-mails. It specifies how e-mail programs 
> negotiate encryption capabilities using regular e-mails.

As I understand it (at least when it is used with PGP), it stuffs your 
public key in a header on outgoing messages, along with your preference 
of whether to receive encrypted emails, so that other Autocrypt-enabled 
clients can then take your key and also decide whether to follow your 
preference re: receiving encrypted email.

Seems like a worthwhile project, and from talking with one of the 
developers, I don’t get the sense it is complicated to implement 
(although I don’t have much basis for judging that).

Thanks!
Alex
