"Just" as in "recently" rather than "easily".

No. Read what I wrote again. "I don't see how" ...

Could you elaborate on that? I don't understand what you mean. You can
post through Gmane if you want, or you can send an email to mailing list
address if you want. I don't see how address encryption affects that
choice in any way?

The _only_ thing you can't do is to email people directly (because the
forwarding functionality doesn't work any more).

I think we are starting to go in circles now, didn't we start with this?

Worse than address encryption turned off.

I didn't say there is.
