Hey Joe,

I thought I replied to Lee's message the other day but obviously forgot
to send it.

Unfortunately it has - and it is a protonmail "feature".
kernel.org publishes keys for it's users via WKD:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/maintainer-pgp-guide.html#configure-auto-key-retrieval-using-wkd-and-dane

protonmail, as part of the "back end" or w/e automagically picks up the
keys and uses them to encrypt the message. The list (and people without
WKD set up for their domains) will get the un-encrypted version

When I was a proton user, I could not find a way in the UI to disable
it. I contacted their support at the time who told me it was a feature!

Recently it cropped up again:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221122213754.45474-1-alobakin@mailbox.org/
Unfortunately, the "workaround" was to avoid proton there too.

I was wondering, when I saw Lee's mail, if we should add some sort of
comment about this proton behaviour to process/email-clients..

Conor.
