I agree, particularly with the first sentence.
As for the last one, there are opinions that is best to sign/encrypt ALL
your mail, since if you do that only with the "sensitive" ones, then
it's easier for a snooper to direct his/her dirty intentions.
But, while signing is always possible, encrypting is not, since you
would have to have then your correspondents able to use some PGP/GPG
software.
Also is handy to put y|our public key info somewhere in a corner of your
mail, so that if someone would want to send you an "enveloped"/encrypted
message, it would be possible.
Now, this indeed has gone to OT area.
