General in the sense that MUAs are particularly bad about maintaining OpenPGP state. But you can't blame them, really, because GnuPG wants to maintain state and puts itself in an awkward position. Anyway, some MUAs (well, I know only one) store the session keys in a database, s.t. you don't need the private keys anymore. Evolution could do that, too, along with storing the plaintext of some encrypted information (which, currently, is only the text of the body, but some proposals exist to also encrypt the subject and other headers). > I don't like this.

GnuPG supports that, but few people know. > I think it would be nice to have option or message-filter 'Decrypt > into (local) folder', where emails are kept decrypted. Why would you want to keep the encrypted version?

Hi, you can propose new feature requests at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/new though for the 1) I'm not sure how the UI would be done. A similar option to "Send encrypted, but store decrypted in the Sent folder" would make similar job, as both scenarios void the encryption purpose. For the 2), there already exists an old report here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648774 Bye, Milan ___ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
[Evolution-hackers] [PGP] decrypt into local folder
hello all, I encrypt almost all my emails with PGP. This has several significant drawbacks: 1. Since I generate new private key every year, I need to keep track of all of them to be able to decrypt and look at my old emails. I don't like this. I want to archive old keys only for emergency purposes and have clean PGP keyring. 2. It is impossible to do searches over encrypted emails. I think it would be nice to have option or message-filter 'Decrypt into (local) folder', where emails are kept decrypted.
