inbuilt PGP system

[oftengrey]

Right now, the android app requires OpenKeyChain to manage and use PGP keys to open/send encrypted mails. This makes Thunderbird dependent on another third-party app that might stop development anytime.

It would be better to implement the PGP system into Thunderbird Android like its on PC. This will also streamline the process and make it easier to handle encrypted emails.

OpenKeyChain has, in fact, ALREADY stopped development

Alas, this is a larger issue on Android as OpenKeyChain was pretty much the only GPG provider.

And I've never been much of a fan for each application managing their own GPG keyring.
