I'd even disagree with this -- while it's not necessary, I'd say it is actually desirable. Today, it's not necessarily a bad assumption that an encrypted message is interesting; I suspect that although there are exceptions, by and large people only bother to encrypt "interesting" things. If it becomes routine to also encrypt "let's go get coffee" messages, the simple fact that something is encrypted no longer makes it automatically worthy of scrutiny. -C
