There are two main types of emails on the internet: plain text and HTML. Many people, particularly in technical communities, strongly prefer or even require the use of plain text email from participants. However, your mail client may not have it set up by default. We’ll help you get it configured, and introduce you to the norms and conventions of plain text email.

Problem with OAuth 2 is that it requires pre-registering Delta Chat with each email provider and hardcording OAuth 2 authentication URLs into the application. This option is limited to large providers and they can always decide to change requirements and unregister the client.

Here’s a rival project also trying to make an SMTP/XMPP gateway.

Fun!

Fett!👍🏻 Autocrypt support is planned.

Here’s the open tickets for that.

There’s also an ActivityPub gateway already.

Seems like Libervia is working on an email ⇔ XMPP gateway.

Jag håller med om att Delta Chat som bygger på en etablerad standard kan vara ett sätt att frigöra sig från den gisslansituation som annars råder, men rent funktionsmässigt blir det inte en ersättare för chattar eftersom den bara ändrar på den egna sidan av kommunikationsutbytet.

Men det är ju det här som inte stämmer för båda sidorna kan ju använda Delta Chat. Så om baseline är WhatsApp, Signal, Discord, Line, WeChat, Facebook Messenger, ICQ, AIM och liknande gegga, så uppfyller ju Delta Chat det, dvs att det blir en tjatt om båda installerar.

Och vad som dessutom går är att starta tjattar med folk som faktiskt har mejlappar som dom kollar lite oftare eller där du är OK med att dom bara svarar en gång i månaden. “Dessutom”, alltså, inte “istället”. Och alla som är på internet kommer behöva ha en mejladdress för det behövs för typ password resets och sånt.

Oh, great, there’s an RFC, that’s awesome.

Maybe Gmail will just switch to that and no milters will be necessary?

I already started a thread.

App idea.

Postfix milters that translate Gmail’s dumb reaction format to Delta Chat’s good one, and the other way around. Would only work on the unencrypted threads with Gmail users so the benefit is pretty minor.

I’ve found specs for how the reaction looks on Gmail’s end:

Create a secure email account with Tuta: 1 GB free storage · No ads · Signup in seconds now!

Interesting compromise.

FairEmail will send the Autocrypt header for use by other email clients, but only for signed and encrypted messages because too many email servers have problems with the often long Autocrypt header.

I’m not exactly in a position to convince them to use tuta, so openpgp is required for me.

Convert email newsletters into Atom feeds.

Open-source editor for crafting emails.

Google.

To use Postmaster Tools, you need to have a Google Account

Isn’t that kinda fucked up?! The whole point of running an email server is to not have to have a Google Account!
