Supporting PGP-based email encryption in Geary
Introduce and describe the topic
Currently, Geary is the best (only?) email client for mobile Linux supporting a responsive UI. However, it doesn't support email encryption with PGP. That means one would have to go back to a desktop/laptop to use a different client, or use some other workaround to read encrypted emails.
Why is this important?
Encrypted email is not that common in the general population, but I have seen it often used in Free Software communities (especially the Debian community), and those people are the ones more likely to be using mobile Linux to start with.
So the issue is not directly related to Phosh/Mobian but it would be helpful for people wanting to use encrypted email on mobile.
How would you like people to respond?
There is an existing issue on this in the Geary repo, which we could contribute to:
