What if instead of writing “secure” in the subject, I just don’t send the email and instead use Signal or WhatsApp where all the text is encrypted end to end?

It’s not clear why it’s desirable to keep bolting things onto email in an attempt to somehow make it eventually match the security profile that we can already get by just using other existing options.
- md_ 5y agoIn any sufficiently long discussion of PGP’s merits, it becomes obvious that those arguing for PGP are not motivated by a desire to keep communications confidential, but, rather, to justify use of PGP. So, why not just use Signal or WhatsApp? ‘Cause they’re not PGP.
