This is another good application, but I think it suffers from the same problem as encrypted E-mail messages: as long as it's even a little less convenient than no encryption, most people just won't care enough to use it.

I agree completely with this. we have to move encryption onto the desktop PCs and Macs, and make it transparent to the naive users. Eudora and NUpop are a good start, but aren't transparent when you use PGP or ViaPGP. I've written a non-TCP/IP Windows POP/SMTP client that will work with commercial providers such as Netcom and Digex, but I can't get the low level communications code to work - Window's comm.drv API is too flakey for me to understand and get working. I believe that my code is less than a week or two from being ready to distrubute, if I can get some help with the communications code. I asked a few months ago, and had one volunteer who didn't deliver. I'd love to find a cypherpunk willing to work with me to provide some sorely needed enabling technology.
