Ah, yes, back when men were men and sheep were scared. :) (It's an old American joke about the Old West: "when men were men and sheep were scared," mostly due to a shortage of women. I imagine the Australians probably have their own version of it.) > Given this, it is important to convince the mail providers to > support their users doing end-to-end encryption.

With great respect, Werner, one thing twenty years of watching Classic PGP and OpenPGP not succeed has taught me is that there is nothing simple about increasing our user numbers. In some sense I see GnuPG as a quite successful failure. For the original purpose of PGP -- email security -- OpenPGP has turned out to be a dismal failure. When used correctly by knowledgeable people it offers a remarkable degree of protection, but it's condemned to forever be a niche player. Yet, in places where PGP was never imagined (signing operating system packages, for instance), OpenPGP has turned out to be incredibly important.
