   Hello WvV!

   Well.. Thunderbird has supported PGP/GPG integration for years     
   via plugins, and now it is practically built-in and part of the     
   whole program. An implementation like that only begs to be     
   discovered and used. If the coders for TB have done this, they     
   must have had the evidence or requests for that.   
      
   Then there are all the other programs such as GPGTools     
   GPGshell, etc.. that exist and continue to be supported.   
      
   I am sure friends tell two friends and so on, about these     
   options to integrate more privacy in comms.

   Sure.. even for them change is hard. So, they just keep     
   investing more and more resources to maintain this beast of     
   collecting everything - but with a very limited feasible     
   outcome.   
      
   They are forced to focus on narrow sets of data: a particular     
   suspect or small group.   
      
   But even then, the associations between suspects/groups could     
   be full of red-herrings.
