“email is inherently insecure, email can never be secure, it leaks a LOT of metadata and only the body is encrypted, subject can NOT be encrypted, you can NOT build a secure system on top of email”

    Yeah i checked that thread, that user that kept bickering seemed like an asshole, sorry. I think delta/arcane is pretty novel and noble.

    Standard OpenPGP e-mail encryption protects message contents, but not message headers such as From, To and Subject fields. To protect Subject header Delta Chat and other email clients such as Thunderbird and K-9 Mail replace Subject with “…” or “Encrypted Message” and place real Subject into the encrypted part of an e-mail message

    Clearly they didn’t even read the audit 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for your good work, btw :D
