Your key is accessible to Hushmail, making the entire exercise a waste of
time for most of the user who would use such a service. Their passphrase
would likely be vulnerable to dictionary attack.

There are no GPL versions of PGP.

I'd like to kow the answer to that myself. I've never used mailers that use
proprietary file formats for personal mail, but I'd be interested to know so
I can help other folks get out when they finally decide to abandon Microsoft
