Re: Why everyone uses envelopes but few encrypt emails?

You are absolutely right. The function of the third party is only to
make it easy to use.

A third party does not make a cryptosystem easier to use.

Even if you are using PGP, you still have to rely
on the service of a third party to provide you the software, unless you
write your own code from scratch.

True, but that's still preferable to handing a third party my keys and
messages.
