hi,

> You don't need PGP unless you have a secret message to send.

?? or you just dont want anyone else to read your email. such as sysadmin,
your boss, your secreatary, anyone who coudl access your machine whilst your
at break/home, or your ISP controllers.

I definately like the 'postcard' analogy.

"all your normal email is like sending your mail on a postcard. any of the
delivery agents can read it. By using PGP its like putting your mail in an
envelope, it'll protect the contents from eyes that shouldnt be casually
reading it..."

I'd use PGP 100% if all my friends and contacts used it
