  Hello! I have been playing with encryption for about 4 months... so
don't belive too much what I write... I am still learning.

  We don't encrypt the messages to the list. However, I know there is a
list that use encrypted messages, however, it is for testing purposes...
I don't know about lists using encryption to talk about other things...

  I carry ThunderbirdPortable in an USB flash memory stick, with GPG and
Enigmail... but I have been warned to don't use it unless I am really
sure the computer is "clean and safe"...
  Other people uses notepad (or that kind of utility) to compose the
message, then they encrypt it in the memory (the gpgtray utility of
GPGshell is really useful, it allows to encrypt the content of the
clipboard), and then they paste it in the webmail composer (but they
have configured the composer to avoid it breaking the messages). The
important thing is never use the webmail composer to write the clear
message, because the "save draft" features will keep a copy of the clear
text... Also, keep in minf webmail composers can do unexpected things,
and unexpected things are not good friends of encryption or
signatures... don't be surprised if a message is broken.

  Yes, God save the Developers ;)
