Subject: bug#47660: Add link to the ticket when someone reply
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 17:00:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <be8288f6-f500-3090-4612-975568d47882@riseup.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <86im4nmxrs.fsf@bonfacemunyoki.com>

To be honest i find this bad thing to use emails to do anything rather 
than online registration and not necessary stuff (means being 
encrypted,manipulated.. just not something important)

Email sucks due to:
* Messages are not encrypted by default which mean it need an extra tool 
to do it and commonly used is GPG/PGP + it needs tool to implement this 
encryption on the messages which mean mail reader/client most commonly 
one used is thunderbird/icedove <- This method having tremendous 
security issues check for example:

- https://efail.de/
- https://www.whonix.org/wiki/OpenPGP#Issues_with_PGP

* Most of the time (not always) heavily rely on clearnet which mean 
issues of TLS/DNS which needs to be hardened otherwise they are exist by 
names but does nothing.


..This is out of scope to discuss this in details, I just want to see 
the bug URL linked to the bottom of the email i receive thats it.
