Continuing the discussion from Bring back avatars, redaction & modifying member list to unencrypted chats : [image] Bring back avatars, redaction & modifying member list to unencrypted chats chat messages in mail chats will never become end-to-end encrypted. I wonder why was it taken away. Tha…

That would be nice feature to have! Even better than in V1, as the user is notified that the encryption became possible and explicitly agrees to start the encrypted chat. I can imagine someone using the same account for DC conversation and occasional mail forward to the same person, which normally w…

You could use the Cryptotext app and a shared secret to verify the fingerprints over an otherwise-unencrypted e-mail connection.

PEER can mean: A person user wants to talk to. A contact in the address book. An OpenPGP key. This is owned by someone who has generated it. An email address. This is owned by the email provider. 1:1 chat is a chat between you and the contact from your address book. I agree that PEER can mean …
