People have sent you answers, but it depends on the politics of the list.
Unfortunately in some countries encrypted email is illegal. Practically, I
think that if you grabbed, say, the mutt public key ring (it's available, but
incomplete), and told pgp to encrypt a message to everyone on that ring, pgp
would produce an encrypted copy for everyone on the ring and cat them all
together, so the message that gets sent to the list would be hundreds or
thousands of times larger than the original. The mailing list server would
have to send it to a corresponding number of people, which would be quite
nasty. The one key for the list idea gets around that, though.

Because PGP 2.6.3i works, and PGP 5 is bloatware.
