If I were sending you an encrypted e-mail, I presume I wish you to be
able to read it, but I surely would not wanting you to share its
contents with anyone else. So if I knew you would even be storing the
decrypted version of my email anywhere else (or even on your own
computer), I would no longer need to send you any encrypted mail because
I could not trust you to keep it secret.

I know there is nothing enigmail, or even gpg2, do to prevent
untrustworthy behavior on your part, but why should they make it even
easier for you to do this?

Even if I trust _you_ to keep my secrets, why should I trust some server
somewhere (perhaps even in the cloud) to keep them?
