Yeah, sure. I am afraid there is no fixing stupid. No software can fix dumb
users.

I use OpenPGP directly when possible, but sometimes you want to deliver
somethng over a channel that is safer than ordinary. It is nice to have the
option of delivering encrypted content without having to explain to the
recipient how to run OpenPGP, specially because they will tell you to get lost
if you try, but won't if you tell them to decode the message using a password.
