IMHM thou should be able to mail private. If you don't want to be read of any
person, make your own crypt, but I do not know, how long it takes and your mail
isn' t private because of enough people who will crack your crypt because of
paranoia or just for fun. I hope that there is an internal honor to do it not,
and for the writer to write only real private things by private mail, in the
other cases you will be decrypted and flamed by others. I have not enouhg time
to do this.
