GPG 2.1 elliptic keys

    With GPG 2.0 coming to end of life at the end of this year, it would be great if you fully supported GPG 2.1 and its elliptic curve keys.

    I've done some tinkering around and it works with keys, but the key management part doesn't seem to understand them and cannot generate new ellliptic curve keys.

    I've gone to using Thunderbird a lot more since the Snowden revelations and elliptic curves are supposedly quantum-proof so it would appeal to the tin-foil-hat brigade too.

    Thanks for considering it.

    The next version of Enigmail (still in development) already contains everything to create ECC keys if GnuPG 2.1 is detected.
