Anyone here any experience of this site? Apparently, it allows secure email between hushmail users. I've got a Hotmail account which I use when on the move. Perhaps hushmail would be a better one to use for instances which require a greater degree of security.
The [obvious] downside appears to be that both the sender and the recipient need to be hushmail users to gain the security.
All experiences/comments welcome (especially re: PGP)

I use hushmail (see my profile). Got a couple of mates using it now. You're right that both parties have to use hushmail for the encryption to be active.
It's not as flexible as say Hotmail or Yahoo Mail, but I'm prepared to put up with this if it means I can have a bit of privacy. Anything that makes it a litte more difficult for the 'suits' to snoop on the 'net gets my vote.
