Email security is really bad. We have a lot of companies trying to roll out "secure email" every week. There are a ton of problems to solve before one of these actually works, javascript crypto being the least (since HN likes to discuss it...). Backwards compatibility with old email protocols and insecure service is clearly a weak-link in any hypothetically secure service. It would be nice to see a more distributed protocol...where the bulk of the world's email is holed up in a few company's data centers.
