   @clacke @badrihippo @njoseph Ooh, this basically breaks email...

      @clacke @badrihippo @njoseph But... This is happening because the Internet community has failed spectacularly in making encrypted email accessible.

      You can encrypt an email, but no mechanism was ever devised for handling the public keys of email accounts.

      If you're an email client wanting to deliver an email to an account, how do you get the public key of the user you want to send email to?

      The only way of doing that is that they email you the key and tell you how to use it.

         @clacke @badrihippo @njoseph No concerted effort was ever made to fix it, and people want to send confidential email, so how do you make that easy to do without having to convince the entire Internet of your new idea? Well...
