so? they cant do anything with your private key apart from read email that
is sent to YOU. to read the email you sent to other people, they'd need THAT
persons key. which you *dont* have. and never DO have. you just have their
public key...which is readily available on any PGP keyserver if 1) the user
has submitted it and 2) if they wish to get it :-)

the people at your ISP could still read all your emails. even easier
actually since they just sniff for packets going to whatever.your.mail.is ;-)

Quote carefully and read all ADMIN:README mails
