Stegography. It gets round the issue that even if your PGP encoded mails
can't be read, the mere fact that they are encoded is significant.
Stegography hides the encrypted text in a binary file, it could be audio
or graphic data. so you're not only hiding the contents of the message
but hiding the fact that you are hiding the contents.
