Dear Roundcube devs and list lurkers
PGP encryption for Roundcube is a repeatedly popping up topic. Of course we're also very much interested in providing a solid solution for end-to-end encryption as a standard part of Roundcube. I therefore tried to summarize the current situation in our wiki [1] and compiled a few wishes to current and future encryption browser plugins - from a webmail programmer's point of view of course:

I think the approach with a locally installed browser extension to do the encryption part is the most sustainable at the moment. While Mailvelope [2] already does a pretty good job, please also give your attention to pEp [3] which adds some more simplicity and automation on top of standard encryption methods like PGP and S/MIME. After a recent meeting with the pEp developers, I'm really looking forward to see this become available, eventually also as a browser extension. So please support their crowd-funding campaign [4] and help them to make encryption easy for everyone.
Kind regards, Thomas
