I should point out that I have had actual application for encrypted
messages, when I was dealing with the Church of Scientology and
communicating with fellow critics. Even with the relatively simple
Enigmail, it was an incredible pain in the backside and a strong
disincentive to use email at all for the purpose. We moved
communication pretty much entirely to our phones soon after. I would
have been the most technically able of the group.
