Re: [Enigmail] Enigmail V1.9

[Mike Acker]

encrypting the headers will not stop traffic analysis and can be confusing to some of us .    i think it is much better to simply suggest using an innocuous subject line placing any critical information into the body of the message.    i.e. the whole question my be a matter of technique more than a programming need .

The plan is that V1.9 will have all capabilities to encrypt and decrypt the headers, but the functionality will be off by default. The version following V1.9 will enable the feature, possibly even unconditionally. The reason for this is that we first need to ensure that the majority of the users can handle decryption of headers before we can start encrypting them. More precisely: we should be able to put headers inside the encrypted messages soon, but we don't want to strip or stub-out the non-encrypted headers *outside* the encrypted messages until we know that the messages are readable by other users. You should be able to generate signed headers (and to verify that the headers are signed) before you start seeing headers that are actually protected by encryption. --dkg _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net -- /Mike
