Description

As a Bugzilla and Thunderbird OpenPGP user I can get some vague idea what this is about, but it's still confusing. I don't get what it actually does, like is it going to encrypt plaintext inbox messages or to decrypt already encrypted inbox messages?

Research direction

The issue refers to the repository's encryption page, but does not name its file path; locate that page first. Clarify whether it encrypts plaintext inbox messages or decrypts already encrypted inbox messages, and consider it done when a Bugzilla or Thunderbird OpenPGP user can tell which operation occurs.
