I guess that makes it a bit combersome to use.

I like the idea of encrypted messages - because as you know everything in this technology is "in the clear", given that some folks "route" mail, that means every hop to its destination can see it.

I'm also liking the idea of signing messages - perhaps when working a utility eg: a voting tool to ensure that the vote comes "only once?" from an "approved source".

Im probably going to play with it (just because I can) but its a shame it might not be that useful/usable for others...
