Thanks for the explanation of how pEp is connected to this. I do have a few other questions that hopefully you will answer.
1) What does the pEp addon do in addition to or better than the built in OpenPGP? In other words what are the advantages to installing this add-on over the built in support? 2) Can you explain the differences between pEp junior and classic modes? I didn't really see these answered in the FAQ Thanks On 9/7/2020 10:40 PM, Patrick Brunschwig wrote: > On 07.09.2020 21:55, Phil Kane wrote: >> On 9/6/2020 11:35 PM, Patrick Brunschwig wrote: >> >>> pEp for Thunderbird is not Enigmail.
