  Not so much "either/or" as "you've already lost".

  Regular email isn't secure at all.  Period.  It is already going through
an unbounded number of third party networks and systems.  It never goes
"straight to" anywhere.  Security is only as good as the weakest link, and
the weakest link is not Postini.  Since that is the situation, having it
make one more stop on the way through Postini is not a significantly worse
situation.

  Chris Scharff has the right of it.
