4. Well, you could if you jump through some hoops. Which describes using PGP in general.

5. Not only that, it requires both people to use it _correctly_.

Hushmail has given your info to the Feds. All the others could be. It's a trust issue.

Same with mobile. There's 'pgp for iOS' but I'll be damned if I upload my private key to a system running all proprietary software...
