I think I have got a little to confused in this paranoia. Anyway what I
really wanted was that my mail admin shouldnt know what mails Im sending. So
I thought of encrypting my messages. But obvioulsy this doesnt apply in a
mailing list context, coz in that case even if everyone had decryption s/w
installed I wouldnt know which public key to encrypt against.
