@rozzin @bobjonkman ISTM that there should be a way to make a PGP / WOT alike secure end-to-end transport. But I'm not a security guru. -

I'm not convinced that PGP couldn't be used to implement `just end-to-end secure' e-mail if the !crypto community could actually value that. -

GnuPG/PGP isn't transport-layer encryption. For e-mail it's a message container that has to be opened separately; similar for files. If you want to store a message plain text, save it as plain text. The problem is that mail clients or their !crypto plugins have tried to make the encryption layer seamless with the transport layer or the message store. The analogy of a (plaintext) pos… -

What @SteveKlabnik said: Use GnuPG/PGP even if you *don't* understand it. You might be using a weak key, or accidentaly signing your mail with my public key, but even poor !crypto practices are better than no !crypto at all (but beware the false sense of security given by simple, easy-to-use, weak !crypto) See his pretty good speech at https://www.youtube.com/embed/LjZk8PP-u3c
