This is where the idea of transparent e-mail encryption comes into play. The challenge is to allow users to set it up and never have to touch it again, and let the system take care of everything for the user.
That is one perspective agreed. I feel that if "computing" was taught like a skill like reading and writing from an early age then this would not be such a problem for educated users. Making things too transparent for me at least dumbs down the whole computing experience. This leads to a number of problems. Problems like users not know what the hell a file system is for example, or how the encryption can be circumvented. Er... I hope you get my point. -Kai -- http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=Kai+Hendry
