The minimal public key of multiple UIDs written as autocrypt keydata in my case is 15kB, quite large as mail overhead. I guess there's no way to reduce that somehow?
Ouch, that's pretty excessive. When generating the Base64 keydata for the header, Mutt uses gpgme_op_export_keys() with the GPGME_EXPORT_MODE_MINIMAL flag. I don't think there's much more Mutt can do as the keydata is supposed to have the uid field.
Command line gnupg has filter options like gpg --export --export-options export-minimal --export-filter keep-uid="mbox=f...@example.com" 0xKEYID which ends up with 3kB Ascii-armored per uid.
It might be worth doing this when copying over and trimming down the uid list as much as possible.
Just due to rebuilding the header cache once without explicitly switching it off for an autocrypt scan.While there will be *some* slowdown due to Autocrypt, it shouldn't be that noticeable.I didn't notice a negative impact on regular mail use.
That's good to hear. The past year I've switched over to SSD and was worried I might be blind to normal disk access issues. sqlite3 should have acceptable performance for this usage though.
