And i want to reiterate that i myself dislike autocrypt as yet one another way to shit (sorry) masses of unused data into email headers. I still think that if you really want to communicate with one securely then the normal thing is to send an email and ask for it. I mean hey, you want to have *encrypted communication* with another human person, right. Puh. Other than that you can lookup keys. The problem is solely that this automated fetching is shit (sorry) as of today, except for WKD maybe, and those hkps which still function, or not at all for S/MIME, that easily. (And not by default on German passports, not the one, not the other, and not fetchable via German DNSSECured DNS records either.) And all those DNS records which have been invented are the very same brainfuckers (sorry), because no normal and mentally sane person can use them, as they require specific DNS record formatting that those web interfaces that the mentioned persona has to use do not offer this, and, i guess, will never support. Compare this with the intellectual penetration of reality that the old good ones have proven to have, again, by looking at the DKIM standard. All you need is a TXT record, and almost everyone will be able to place this. DKIM is a good standard. I have my heavy doubts on most others. But that is just me, of course. I mean, what a pity. Give me DNSSEC, give me RFC 7250 raw TLS keys and DKIM certs and some better sort of SMIMEA and OPENPGP through it, instead of also this .well-known trashbin and CA certificate pools (get rid of the root server keys altogether maybe, how about [1] instead, even if US does not like it?), and more through it.
