Comment on Ask HN: do you trust your "secure email" now?parent

Comments

There is if you still care about keeping the contents of your message secure.

Or in a simpler sense; do you put your letters in an envelope, or do you just put a stamp on the paper?

By that analogy so called secure email providers would receive plain letters and put those into envelopes before handing them to you, and conversely ripping your envelopes open before sending out your mails. Because the rest of the world doesn't know how to use envelopes.
