i think you mistake the mailing list usecase with the encrypted communication usecase. the two are quite different.
3/ protocols like pond which address adversarial progress over the years should be preferred over outdated and broken protocols. but i guess i'm repeating 1/ already.
Which adversarial progress are you referring to? GPG has proven itself robust over the years, and Confidant Mail does not use SMTP.
has it? or has parallel construction also evolved?
If you mean forward secrecy, I'm working on that. In the meantime I'd still rather trust GPG than some unknown protocol. If my private key gets stolen that's my own fault for being careless.
i think this has been now repeated many times enough. smari, matt green, lately even moxy got the memo.. -- otr fp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/otr.txt
