I have configured AA with the pgp key for my protonmail receiving account and the emails encrypt fine, but they are completely blank?

Not sure what I am missing.

Thanks.

Due to the way inline encryption works only the plain text part of the messages can be properly encrypted and decrypted.

The tooltip on the recipients page for that column states:

"Use inline (PGP/Inline) instead of PGP/MIME encryption for forwarded messages. Please Note: This will ONLY encrypt and forward the plain text content!"

So your forwarded email must not have had any plain text content.

Please try again making sure to send only plain text.

Most people will not use this setting, I would recommend turning it off if you want to receive html or mixed type messages.

I read it but it was meaningless in the context of signing up for companies emails etc.

How would I know their content before receiving it? What about partial content.

@willbrowningme Please Note: Turn this off if you wish to receive html or mixed type messages. Turn on for plain text ONLY

It was added on a few user requests who had special uses cases where they only required plain text content. I'll update the note to make it more clear.

Thanks, an update to the note would be a help to understand directly what it does 👍🏻

Did a quick PR if it helps ... https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/pull/381
