Re: [Trisquel-users] email without encryption

[onpon4]

There's a grain of truth to it: you can't necessarily trust some stranger  
running a mail server to keep your mail secret. Governments can demand that  
they turn over their private key, and then all of your email is compromised  
the same way it would be if your HTTP connection had been snooped. That's why  
you should use end-to-end encryption (e.g. GnuPG). Still, saying that TLS is  
unnecessary is a very strange attitude. It at least means that cooperation  
with the server owner is required to snoop on your email.
