       Watch out for this cap at #Fosdem in #Brussels if you want to talk to me about #OpenPGP in #Thunderbird - what's happening Friday evening?

       Everyone, can you please send me S/MIME signed test email to testmail@kuix.de ? I need many emails for #thunderbird performance testing. Thanks (I will not reply to, and not share your test emails to that account.)

       We have a new #OpenPGP passphrase protection feature in #Thunderbird Daily (development) builds, in response to requests we received in the past. Here's a description and call for testing:https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/e2ee/Tdc427a8b0255b85a/passphrase-protection-for-openpgp-secret-keysI'd welcome some testing and feedback.

       Hello community of #Thunderbird #OpenPGP users. I'd like to know if some of you are still stuck at Thunderbird version 68 and the old #Enigmail Add-on. Is there any missing functionality in Thunderbird 115 that is still preventing you from migrating? #PGP #GPG #GnuPG @thunderbird

       I would like to better understand how many users of #Thunderbird  use encrypted or signed email. I understand not everyone may be comfortable disclosing it, so even vague statements are interesting. Maybe use an anonymous Mastodon account and say "I know a group of (n) people in an NGO who uses OpenPGP encryption." or "We have (m) users in our business who use S/MIME signatures." or similar? Can you think of other ways I could learn more?

       If you use #GnuPG #GPG, and you would like to ensure interoperability with Thunderbird, you might consider to disable the use of #LibrePGP features, by using option --rfc4880 in your configuration (e.g. by adding a line with the word "rfc4880" to your gpg.conf file.)At this time it is undecided whether future Thunderbird versions will support LibrePGP or the upcoming refresh of the #IETF #OpenPGP specification, or both, or none of them. Hopefully we'll eventually see a new universal standard.

       The option to enable LibrePGP is --rfc4880bis which is used by GnuPG version 2.4 by default, and which can create messages and keys that Thunderbird might not be able to process. Note that several Linux distributions have reverted this default, and also stay with the --rfc4880 (not *bis) default, out of a similar worry of not being able to interoperate with future OpenPGP implementations that might follow the upcoming IETF specification.
