Hello all,

At ProtonMail we are moving towards generating Ed25519/Curve25519 keys for our users by default on all clients. We realize this will cause interoperability issues with OpenPGP implementations that don't yet support X25519 encryption and signature verification, so we wanted to provide some advance notice in case you receive an increased number of reports from your users who are trying to communicate with ProtonMail users.
Please let us know if you have any concerns!

Best,
Sunny
