I'm not that familiar with Hushmail. Do they claim anywhere to be
doing "high security cryptography"? As you say, what they have is
probably enough if the market they're going after is dirty jokes and
love letters.
All of what you've suggested is good advice, but it isn't impossible
that Hushmail doesn't believe it's worth the effort, considering that
the private keys are stored online on their servers. If you disagree,
there's certainly nothing preventing you from building a competitor.
