Hmmmm...
I'm beginning to wonder if we shouldn't someday be able to run public email in a sort of "parallel universe," an entirely separate mail system complete with built-in RSA encryption on every piece of mail. That way, we would no longer rely on the Internet, which, unless I am completely off the mark, basically still exists at the pleasure of ARPA and could be completely infiltrated and controlled by the NSA for all we know.
Personaly (mostly before pgp) I used to set up direct uucp connections to people I *had* have secure email with (I once had some sensitive email intercepted thus causing *much* trouble for me). Since alot of my friends have unix boxes (Sun/SCO/386bsd/etc...) uucp is alot easer. -Pete PS: If anyone wants a uucp connection send me email PPS: once I get my sendmail.cf cleaned up I can add people to my domain and I will set up a remailer.
