True.  Also e-mail envelope will always be vulnerable to metadata
snooping with SMTP, whether it's MITM, or on a compromised endpoint.
PGP can make private the message itself, but the evelope remains
unencrypted.  Perhaps we need a e-mail system based on something more
akin to XMPP.  The entire transport can be encrypted, and federation
forms the routes between people.
