I am only quarreling with the word "scam."
Yes, I have. They have their with Java option and their without Java
option, and even the "Express" option. Look at:
<https://www.hushmail.com/hushmail/showHelpFile.php?
file=compatibility/java/index.html>
which has a very nice description of each system, and what
vulnerabilities there are with each. There are many things one might
say about the without Java option. They might include, "doesn't meet
my security needs" or "I can't imagine what would possess someone to
use the non-Java version." But it's not a scam.
