This is the kind of "advice" we can do without. Whether encrypted email
is of use to someone depends entirely on their threat model.
e to say
to those with real need for communication security, that simply using

vague statements to the effect that "yes, Virginia, you can preserve
the security of your endpoint system" are not any better.
