just bought hushmail

[The_bezerker]

i just bought hushmail today for 50 bucks, and i just sent a buddy out an email, and i dont think it was encrypted, but im not sure. Does hushmail automatically encrypt all mail?

thanks

just save 50bucks and go and get PGP. Pretty Good Protection. Uses of the best protection methods available and continues to be secure throughout the years. Never used nething else, never will need to.

I got hushmail free. If I upgraded to a higher volume capacity, like for business, there was a fee.

Hushmail, a longtime provider of encrypted web-based email, markets itself by saying that "not even a Hushmail employee with access to our servers can read your encrypted e-mail, since each message is uniquely encoded before it leaves your computer."

A September court document (.pdf) from a federal prosecution of alleged steroid dealers reveals the Canadian company turned over 12 CDs worth of e-mails from three Hushmail accounts, following a court order obtained through a mutual assistance treaty between the U.S. and Canada.

A subsequent and refreshingly frank e-mail interview with Hushmail's CTO seems to indicate that government agencies can also order their way into individual accounts on Hushmail's ultra-secure web-based e-mail service, which relies on a browser-based Java encryption engine.
