I'm always very puzzled when people start to make a big deal of email 
"security". There is no such thing. Email, by its very nature, is more 
or less public. What's is the point of providing strong encryption and 
convoluted password schema when the entire message loop is not secure? 
It sounds like being extra careful to lock the front door, when the 
entire house if fully open.
