How do I know if a contact is ready to protect metadata and stop traffic analysis?

1. Go to your GoodCrypto private server.
2. Sign in
3. Click the Mail menu item or button.
4. Click the Metadata button.
5. If you see the domain for the contac's email (i.e., the portion to the right of the @ sign) in the list, then you know that messages to this company will be protected if your company is protecting your metadata and stopping traffic analysis.
6. If you don't see the domain for the contact's email, then you can exchange one or two messages with them (which will not have metadata protection) and then recheck if the domain is in the list. Or, you can use another form of communication then email, and exchange keys manually for the _no_metadata_ key for each domain.

Remember that until other packages implement the open source protocol for metadata protection, you will need GoodCrypto on both ends. Encourage others to use GoodCrypto so your mail is fully protected.
