I wonder what's happening on weekends? Every weekend, the percentage of encrypted outbound mail decreases, but the percentage of encrypted inbound mail increases. If you click on "90 days", you can see that this trend has been going on for quite some time. Could this be due to the difference between the usage patterns of work email vs. personal email? Or could it be a specific email service provider (or providers) who do something differently during weekends?

On weekdays, lots of people using Gmail and Google Apps to send work emails to each other which are more likely to accept encryption. But on weekends, inbound commercial, non-work related emails (such as newsletters and promotions) drops off, leaving the percentage of personal emails higher.
