[cp-global] Recommended email client

[Kai Engert (kaie kuix.de) via <global@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

does the CryptoParty community still recommend the Thunderbird software 
for OpenPGP encrypted email?

I know that it had been recommended in the past. But as you know, things 
have changed, and it wasn't possible to keep Enigmail alive and 
compatible with more recent Thunderbird versions. It was necessary to 
drop the separate Enigmail Add-on, and as a replacement, OpenPGP was 
integrated directly into Thunderbird. Because of licensing, it wasn't 
possible to integrate GnuPG into Thunderbird, it was necessary to switch 
to a different software library, and as a consequence it was necessary 
to manage keys separately from GnuPG.

Initially, with the release of Thunderbird 78 in 2020, I know there was 
some frustration amongst the previous Enigmail users. However, I hope 
that in the meantime the situation has improved with versions 91 and 
again with version 102, which was released this year.

Regards,
Kai
