Hi,

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!

*thumbs up* I would turn the request around a bit. Please let us, or the 
OpenPGP Email list ( openpgp-email(_at_)enigmail(_dot_)net ), know if you face 
interop or 
other problems. A status update in some months time which basically says "No 
Problems happened" would also be appreciated. 
I guess that there are some other implementations (me included) out there that 
think about taking the step to change the default.
So congratulations for the courage to be on the forefront of progress. :-)


Best Regards and I hope all goes well,
Andre
