I'll betcha that many sites would cut off mail feeds if they found large quantities of encrypted mail flowing through their systems. Many system administrators, already concerned about what sort of stuff is flowing through their systems, might be ordered by management to cut off any mail if they were unable to demonstrate that they weren't being used for illicit activities of various sorts. There is at least one court case involving encryption in just this way pending now. Nothing is ever simple. Except the wrong answers. --Lauren--
