The addon reads the \"To\"-field and tries to fetch public keys for these contacts (stored in the \"Custom4\" field in the address book).\n\n\n### Permissions\nThis addon uses a long list of permissions, because each is needed for small things. Of course, nothing unexpected is done with your mails or account!\n\n* compose: Replace plain text with encrypted text\n* storage: Store your own secret key for automatic decryption\n* messagesRead: Read incoming mails and decrypt existing age blocks\n* messagesModify: Replace the cipher text with plaintext (only changed in display, the original email itself is never modified)\n* tabs: Open and query tabs and their content\n* addressBooks: Fetch a public age key from your contact, if stored in field \"Custom4\"\n* accountsRead: Read info about the current account\n* browserSettings: Compatibility with some functions\n\n\n## License\n\nCopyright 2023 Dominik Pataky\n\nLicensed under the MIT license.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbitkeks%2Farcus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbitkeks%2Farcus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbitkeks%2Farcus/lists"}
