A standardized protocol without forward secrecy is worse than standardized protocol with forward secrecy. Just use Signal.

forward secrecy is independent of the transport protocol. it's only dependent on the encryption. messages encrypted with forward secrey can still be sent over SMTP. deltachat devs are working on that.

signal does not use a standardized protocol, and it requires a phone. that's not an alternative. my children have deltachat on their laptop. i can talk to them when i am not at home without needing to give them a phone.

		>messages encrypted with forward secrey can still be sent over SMTP. deltachat devs are working on that. OTR has had forward secrecy for 21 years. The effin headline stated PGP was a faulty model https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1029179.1029200 Why implement something PGP-like, without forward secrecy, 13 years later, beats my understanding. I mean, 13 years is also the time difference between OTR and PGP. I guess some devs don't read cornerstone papers of the field they supposedly specialize in :)
