Interesting. However, the problem of widening email encryption practice is not technical, it is motivational. Broadly speaking, there are those that "have nothing to hide" (i.e., those that completely lack the motivation - see above, mid-way in the thread) and those that indeed do "have something to hide". Those that "have something to hide" would never, ever place an ISP or webmail operator on their trust chain. After all, they must assume that those that they must protect their communication from can probably secure the cooperation of either or both those parties. On the other hand, I keep wondering: why are we (and we obviously are, witness this paper and the initiative behind it) so motivated to spread the gospel of e-mail encryption among those that completely lack the motivation for it? (This *is not* a rhetorical question). Mark R. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
