You can reduce these problems by running a _real_ operating system on your PC, but it's tougher to run your favorite applications that way, and you still need to either run all your mail down to the PC, which isn't practical for lots of people, or explicitly forward the stuff down there from your main mail system.
There's another transparency problem, at least for reading encrypted mail - you either need to type in your passphrase each time, which is annoying and increases exposure somewhat, or you need to leave it aorund in environment variables, etc., which also increase exposure.
I use Linux at home, and uucp my email down at regular intervals to the box at home. When I want to run windoze, I just say "reboot". The Linux uucp runs just fine, and talks to everyone else, as far as I know. I keep my PGP pass phrase in $PGPPASS, although I have to type it in every time I log in - small price to pay. The machine at home is pretty secure - - I hope! :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAgUBLl0efyS9AwzY9LDxAQGtygP9GjJtTV+0O+RNzC2+4ypQ0i18gY36kZh5 1KekzPYZQtQdNxUwsziRENhr1UC4GT/BI0m83Bf74jHl/fFJXOzeoGJQLLJwnufD XT/HnRlOHa6DR3ZxrEH3BomnWHqCzUhGk5khnf9VdU6qi6kNJyLCf40R2BdtAxRf YzDt2q7Bw1k= =9Zxg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
