I think it not outside the realm of realistic to imagine that the NSA has the ability to break all/nearly all encrypted data with ease. I mean, I have had quite a few friends with PhD level mathematics degrees hired by the NSA. Haven't heard from them in a while, but I can guess at the reasons behind hiring people like them. Basically I would say the question isn't if we should encrypt e-mail (I think we should in general, regardless of NSA spying), but instead what encryption methods (if any) exist that would be beyond the capabilities of the NSA to easily break.
