Here's an example of why we need encryption: I tried to email a Java-based installer to a friend for testing. Google wouldn't let me send a JAR file (ostensibly to protect users). I tried a processional-association account and that didn't work - it forwarded messages to Google. Finally I encrypted it, providing the password in the message. It would be better to use GPG/PGP: encryption to bypass Google + a digital signature to show it was really from me.
