I have often said, and have been called the uber paranoid for it, that one
of the conditions of his release was that the next generation of pgp had a
back door. Denials out the yang are always instantaneous, but none of them
came from Pete, so I have no choice but to conclude he is under NDA as the
price of his freedom. So I figure the lack of compatibility of modern
versions means I might as well use plain text anyway. My views aren't
secret anyway if you read my sig.

KMail always says unknown (I think we have to share keys).
Would it be better for LAD? Does it matter?

Here, our gov created a national "do not call" list, which we could join
and telemarketers would not be allowed to call us, if we said so.
People flocked to the list!
Then the gov sold the list to some marketing group. Ugh...

A lot of people do, but perhaps they do it for mails that
anyway are in
public, e.g. to correspond to mailing lists.
Anybody know of a public email provider that is better? Or more so:
that can prove they are better?
Open to suggestions :-)

An evasive answer: For a while I used OpenPGP for emails ;). Perhaps
all autistics and savants able to do prime factorization are only
working for Google and no other provider or even intelligence
