No I don't get it - there is no possibility of an attack on the
machine code of the email transmission (?)

The message is an email? In that case the message is (obviously) a
stream of bytes. And presumably the key is stored in a file on a
computer (or at least could be stored as a file), and so *that's* a
stream of bytes, too. (email in the internet world is sent over TCP,
which transmits 8-bit bytes.)

What do you think your program deals with that is not entirely
representable as streams of bytes?
