The comm program shoves the cyphertext into the uploadt editor to write your messages then you've just lost the whole reason for encryption.
I think what you're trying to say is that writing the message on an insecure machine gives it away. This is entirely true, but it sure beats giving away your secret key and passphrase. People were saying that they were unable to do their message editing locally -- if this is an insurmountable limitation, you'd do well to limit your disclosure to the one message rather than every secret you posess. If you *can* edit and encrypt locally, do it, of course.
