    lol..Not something I would ever do. SMTP is just not secure enough considering the path your message could take is entirely out of your control.



    I've run into similar situations where I needed to pass confidential information from work to home. I typically use third party sites to upload and encrypt the data so that I could download it later when I accessed it from home. For instance, simply zipping up the data in a password protected file and putting it in a file vault (my internet provider provides this service to me for free). Failing that, I think I would just rely on sneakernet and print it out and stick it in my wallet

    Yeah, not the brightest thing I have ever done. For sure.



    I now encrypt EVERYTHING.

    Yes. Only. As always - the numbers are relative: 400 Kin users would be a MUCH bigger debacle.
