- rst 13y agoThis is pretty much the reason that Silent Circle shut down their email product. Their other offerings use custom protocols with full end-to-end encryption (and are still up and running), but for email, they were trying to interoperate with the legacy stuff, which left them handling plaintext in some cases. It's also the focus of some of the speculation about the unknown demand that triggered the Lavabit shutdown.
