Does PGP encrypt attachments?
I am using Thunderbird 115.10.1. I want to send an encrypted email with attachments of different types (pdf, docs, images, zips,...)
I have set up PGP following this guidance: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/openpgp-thunderbird-howto-and-faq#thunderbird:linux:tb115
And I have confirmed it is working with Edward following this guidance:
https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/
But I have tried looking online to check, are the attachments to the email also encrypted?

Thunderbird OpenPGP always uses PGP/MIME for sending encrypted messages. So yes, attachments are encrypted.
