For other functionality, I will say nothing because it takes time to implement features and Proton is not as big as Google.

But for PGP? You should treat it seriously, considering your target customers.

Agreed. Buried in twiss’ reply above is the actual response to the article:

> though we could of course add that in the future.

Not exactly. The article says:

> It’s absurd that there’s no way to disable this, no option to tell Proton “if you see a multipart/signed or multipart/encrypted message, just leave it the hell alone.”

which, as I said in my response, I disagree with the first half of that. Our goal is to (automatically) encrypt messages whenever possible, and leaving multipart/signed messages alone doesn't reach that goal. So I proposed two different solutions to what OP wants, one of which is already built into Proton Bridge, and one which we could add in the future (but which would be more effort than the one OP proposes).
