Agreed, PGP/GPG and S/MIME solved this long ago, with the added benefit of end-to-end encryption.
Imagine if the big email providers, such as Google and Yahoo supported this sort of technology. They could push for the required client side encryption standards for browsers if they really wanted to. Suddenly encryption would be available to the masses. I don't think this is going to happen however, those flying pigs would get in the way. Or more seriously, I suspect Google don't want people using client side encryption, as this would prevent them scanning emails for advertising. -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
