Its amazing what you can find out about people in emails I know fully well that most people do not encrypt their email, and that that is very unfortunate. However, to claim that "all your e-mails are stored and sent around the planet in plain text" is a blatant lie. As a personal user of PGP, I can attest to that. |

I think Tom Mc was suggesting that there are already people who use email encryption, and therefore the advertising blurb was too broad. |
