Original: Understanding Email Encryption
Fastmail has published a detailed explainer on understanding email encryption, breaking down how messages are secured in transit and why most email remains readable to providers along the way. Readers on Hacker News are discussing the piece, debating the practical limits of standards like TLS, S/MIME and PGP, and why end-to-end encrypted email has never become mainstream despite decades of available tools.
