the truth of this statement depends heavily on the threat model. the-amongst others-all-archiving kraaken is copying all pgp-cryptograms, as they are shiny beacons of cryptographic interest. not only do they generally disclose the recipients in plaintext metadata, but considering the ANT catalog, hacking team, finfisher FinISP and other market offers for cheap side channel attacks to recover key material, i would say this statement was true until a few years ago. -- otr fp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/otr.txt
