Hello:
Remail currently provides 2 encryption options: s/mime and pgp. How
about adding a third option called "transport" that would basically
delegate the task of encryption to the transport layer (effectively,
sending cleartext mail to those subscribers). There are cases in which
this would make sense, for example:
- the email is delivered to an inbox on the same infrastructure managed
by the same people who have access to the remail encryption keys
- the email is delivered to an inbox over an encrypted SMTP+TLS session
and the provider has the user's private keys anyway (e.g. s/mime
option set up via GSuite, where email is decrypted on the Google side
of things)
What do you think?
