Yes it is more secure. PGP or S/MIME is end-to-end encryption; only you and the recipient of the mail can access its content. No operator of any mail server is able to read your message. If you use only level 2, then operators of both sending and receiving server (and any intermediate server, if there are any) can have access to the message in plaintext form. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
