I agree 101% -- I'd rather have a "bad" system in place, with people asking for a good one (and roundly complaining about the short-sighted implementors :-) than to sit and wait until we can implement the "right" system. I'd much rather have email users want privacy and rag about their compromised system. Even a relatively poor one buts some substantial blocks into routine bulk monitoring of traffic...
