Why stop? It is a valid option for almost real time decentralized comms 
which guarantees

that the recipient gets a time stamped encrypted document from a 
hardcoded landline no.

email delivery, as you may no, can not be guaranteed and in case of 
GnuPG armored messages

they will be most likely filtered for further archival and/or processing.
