Same here, I have no problems with certain public e-mails, like what we write here on mailing lists, anyone can read this, and no secret info within this. In case I would like to share secret info with a friend I could also use my phone to call and give this info. But in case I need to write some private details to a friend, and be sure no one would read this on way, it require my friend have e-mail address and also use OpenPGP. Problem is many friends use public free e-mail solutions, without OpenPGP, and they also not give a damn about security. I also have many friends that use Facebook as some sort of diary. In general IT people should be better to learn non-IT people about better security. Interesting to read feedback on this subject here. Have a good weekend...
