Since some working groups will use encrypted emails and/or encrypted
email lists, it is a good idea if everybody tries to learn to encrypt
emails with PGP / GnuPG / GPG.

Here are some useful resources:

A) In order to understand how PGP works, you might want to read the
Wikipedia page in your mother tongue.

B) If you run Linux and use the GNOME desktop environment
(standard for many distributions), you might want to use the mail
program "evolution". In this guide, you can learn how to encrypt with
evolution.

C) Alternatively, or if you do _not_ run Linux with the GNOME desktop
environment, you might want to use the email program "thunderbird"
together with the "enigmail" plugin. Most people I know use these
programs. You can find instructions here:

https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-pgp-linux
https://riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/enigmail

D) It may make sense to use a separate program for the management of
encryption keys, because the already mentioned programs do not offer
all options for key management, or do misbehave in certain situations.
Therefore, you might consider to have a separate program for key
management available. You can find instructions here:

https://riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/gpg-keys

E) If you are using claws-mail or are considering to use this program,
and have difficulties with encryption, you can write me an email.

F) If you have other questions regarding encyption, you can write me an
email.


Recommendation
-----------------------

if you are using encryption and have an encryption key, it is totally
safe and also makes sense to publish your public key on some key
servers.

Best,
siyah.
