Well, it's a start. Every mail server (except mx1 and mx2.prserv.net) should use TLS.

Its nice in theory, but in practice look how long it takes the bulk of the internet to install urgent patches - how long is it going to take to get people to install an upgrade to privacy that actually causes more problems for them? Besides the core here is that 1) everyone with a server enroute can read the mail 2) you are relying on every other link in the chain to protect your privacy clientside crypto fixes both these problems, reduces the total crypto load on the chain (encryption/decryption is only ever done once) and allows use of digital signatures.

Once you start using it, it becomes part of hte pattern by wich other people identify you.

Exactly the intention, yes :) Just for the sake of it (anyone who cares will have seen my signature enough times by now) I will sign this one :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP - Cyber-Knights Templar iQIVAwUBPZqzpWDKt9Hjj5SVAQFlwA//cQYGFRb3sJEM695lWJ+rUhymcS5lTSEV vG3eRUvxpbhLcAS+QsdMXX3pDlu60UzOhxubpQch9E59yE/+uaeU+5AzkfDQjc2q jQ8SppCqf56+uevoZlH1RiKkBT6Hx7ctPimEIlq3FXWsaqA3ocPVghZwFhMaxA1G twCtBxR7Q3y6VePzCzeealx7TDgcoS7hoBKNTsueAIWd/9xB9JYjFvS8OecOMdZG B+yvSLHZn1YJG62JfZ8EWXr1xKh5BZxdRVxLVzhaumtyAFr2hCDQffDiz5UtyGSa JdMoJAzmZZZ5EvcHc0rMDVs5BiDr5/EaSU+xecPz/YxY4BWxGFprqsRi7IapTkb1 26zgJQ4miGylFlmZM30cxKYudi5PdSJ4VUWpuoHRg9clZlH9KzC7f0suYAnACDXC bzr5Fgp3+bvRnziMD65NT4G1hxA5pYPl+4IudVSKcaMsHLWSTE8Lnf0US283MdeR VXKbINvyEr0p0zrl7lVmHZbmuLjdUHrgAoyQEKcaMelE+Q8suXynDYtSV7LCfdAE CjKBz2RxAiNhi1vAq6NuFOMx+R9c23Sxg2uUUbpYeRbl5fPbjamDzIhK2ccNNmpU euuWj3O9e6YMtW0KPezYbJ/9fMMkOAv3KnfdeAgcjSnipMqVvqgJ4sWil3gfUADY X0TKznTghWs= =3uOF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
