I'm sorry, but that is simply not true. There is a known bug in the library used by Thunderbird (RNP) that leads to crashes when importing _certain_ keys. But I succeeded in importing all of my keys without any problems (more than 1.000), except for 5 V3-keys. I can definitely say that it's not just broken, and it can import keys. > I'm not kidding.

Again, that's oversimplified. OpenPGP will not be enabled _by_ _default_ but users may still enable it manually. > At present, as of -Beta3, TB78's OpenPGP support is badly broken. No, it's incomplete - work in progress. That's not quite the same. -Patrick _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
