Comment on The Sinking Ship of E-Mail Securityparent

Comments

K-9 mail on Android. Not sure about iOS, but I have seen an implementation somewhere on code.google in the past (not sure of its current status).

K-9 Mail is good, but it doesn't support PGP/MIME. Only inline PGP. Doesn't look like they will either as it's been on their todo list for several years now with no progress.

Whilst this is true it is not really that big a problem. You can open the attachment, copy to the clipboard and then use APG to decrypt. It could be nicer and would be excellent if the client supported PGP/MIME, but I can live with it.

I would say it's a not-insurmountable problem, but definitely a big problem. If I have to copy-and-paste all my e-mails into APG just to read them, that's a significant inconvenience.

Thanks - am looking to jump to the dark side soon anyway :-)
