E-Mail Encryption: Why Isn't Everyone Doing It?

[Gill, John]

The interface is too confusing for the "average-home" user.  It's like
asking them to perform a tune-up on a car. They just don't know or care to
know.  Encryption is a great idea, but because of user interface issues it's
still for power-users or better.

Why isn't everyone doing phone encryption?  Why isn't everyone
encrypting their personal postal mail?  Just because something is
technically possible doesn't mean everyone should use it.
