But you use a Gmail account, that's the point. > Makes it a bit pointless.

What proportion of GPs? Or even of subscribers to this list? Also, the the highly redundant Gmail servers housed in multiple redundant data centres with redundant power supplies and redundant Internet connections and teams of hovering technicians around the clock to look after them do tend to keep running almost all of the time, whereas my home-based SMTP server is not quite as reliable, due to prolonged local power failures, stuff-ups by my ISP, and hardware failures in my computer. All of which tend to happen when I am interstate or overseas and most want to use portable encrypted email.
