There's a lot of good things to say about Signal, but if it should replace email:

How do I export it for long time storage and for auditing?

Edit: to avoid confusion, I read in the help files that I can export my chats, but it seems clear that those exports are only supposed to be imported into another instance of Signal.

I don't think Signal should replace email. I don't think email is going anywhere.

So, your point over the last couple of years can be distilled down to:

- use Signal if you need actually secret mesaging.

- otherwise: anything goes, including iMessage and email.

- don't participate in security theatre
