Did you know that sending an email is much like sending a postcard? It can be read my many people other that the intended recipient. Do you want to send private email? There are a few things you can do to become more secure like using SSL or a VPN, but only encryption is fail-safe. Unfortunately, many users find it difficult to use PGP-style encryption. Hushmail offers the PGP level of encryption in a easy-to-use webmail format. While limited and relatively featureless, it is one of the easiest ways to send a secure email. You can even send a secure email without creating a Hushmail account.
