One of the arguments for encryption of email was that if one wouldn't
post a letter without putting it in an envelope, why do we send emails
without something similar.
The catch with encrypting e-mail, of course, is that it pretty much
guarantees that certain organisations will immediately start taking a
strong interest in it.
There are several big nuisance factors of 'targeted' advertising. It
presumes that mail or searches one send or does mention subjects of
interest to me, rather than to some second or third party; It may
presume that keywords in emails are of interest to me, when those emails
are spam. They presume that ones interest is still extant.
Yes, my mileage does vary :-)
