<div class="moz-cite-prefix">That's a good article and I think it
makes a lot of sense in the context. I still think PGP is valid
for sending encrypted emails if you exchange public keys
beforehand (as he also states he still uses it in that manner).
The web of trust also never did anything for me sadly.<br>
