Well, there are all sorts of archives, I guess. But OK. The point here is not to expect that you can open such archives in an email client with Internet access, which is also receiving new email. Because that makes it vulnerable to Efail and follow-ons. So put the archives in an air-gapped machine, with a suitably tweaked email client to access them. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
