Benjamin mako Hill has an interesting thing to say.

It doesn't matter how secure your mail is. All it takes is to have correspondence with everybody else out there who only use Gmail unencrypted.

Which means... when speaking of secure communication, it doesn't suffice to take care of oneself. The Lone Ranger individualist approach does not work. Having a secure computer and secure e-mail service is no guarantee at all, because of the other end of communication still being vulnerable. If you want your communications to be secure, you need your correspondents to use secure technology too. We need to keep raising awareness about it, as much frustrating as it can be.

In a century where privacy gets one setback after another, there's some hope though: the recent end-to-end encryption from WhatsApp was a huge advance. I used to recommend Telegram, but now WhatsApp is even better. Encryption is always on instead of being a choice, so you stop depending on your correspondents to choose it. This is the way to go.
