Just by way of some background I have worked for two very large financial
institutions and neither encrypted every e-mail.


Of course, if they *did* encrypt every e-mail, there wouldn't be a need to
stick that silly "if you received this message in error" disclaimer on outbound
e-mails, because an erroneous recipient couldn't decrypt the message, so no
harm, no foul. ;)

Just sayin' :)
