Please feel free to send me an email or a direct message with your comments and questions, or just to say hi.
š© Send an Email
Email me at TheCOGCatholic (an Outlook.com address).
š Here is my GPG key if you wish to encrypt your email.
š To encrypt emails using…
| Thunderbird: | See video “Encrypt your Personal Email with Thunderbird.” |
| Webmail | Use Mailvelope with its browser extension. |
| Android | Use K-9 Mail from Google Play or F-Droid. |
| (Alternative) | Just use the “Online PGP tool” at aliceandbob.io. (Paste the text of my public PGP/GPG key into the right side of the screen. Type your message on the left side. Then copy and paste the resulting encrypted message straight into the text of your email.) |
| Protonmail š¹ | You should probably be using this anyway for your personal emails if you don’t want to learn how to do your own email encryption. If you email from a Proton account, it should encrypt your email to me automatically. If not, it will after I reply to your initial email (all my emails to Proton email accounts are automatically encrypted). Get your free account at https://proton.me/mail. |
š¹ = Easiest for anyone, including blind grandmas. Do it!
