What wonders me is what is stopping people from integrating
key-management and encryption features to the open source mail
clients? Why not do it? Just leave the encryption programs out.
But no, still pgp-pine, etc, are spread separately. (AFAIK)
Encryption usage won't become mainstream until this integration
is done and some level of automation in encrypted mailhandling
is available in the normal every-day mail clients.
Easy encryption & key-handling automation should be a competitive
must-have feature.
