AEAP MVP
========
Changes to the UIs
------------------
- The secondary self addresses (see below) are shown in the UI, but not editable.
That's all!
Changes in the core
-------------------
- We have one primary self address and any number of secondary self addresses. `is_self_addr()` checks all of them.
- If the user does a reconfigure and changes the email address, the previous address is added as a secondary self address.
- don't forget to deduplicate secondary self addresses in case the user switches back and forth between addresses).
- The key stays the same.
- No changes for 1:1 chats, there simply is a new one
- When we send a message to a group, and the primary address is not a member of a group, but a secondary address is:
Add Chat-Group-Member-Removed=<old address> and Chat-Group-Member-Added=<new address> headers to this message
- On the receiving side, make sure that we accept this (even in verified groups) if the message is signed and the key stayed the same
Other
-----
- The user is responsible that messages to the old address arrive at the new address, for example by configuring the old provider to forward all emails to the new one.
