To add to this article: Why do people not use PGP or S/MIME?
I've submitted my resume to a couple of people who posted in the Who's Hiring thread and checked for each of them if they have a PGP key submitted to the usual key servers (e.g. pgp.mit.edu). None of them had done that. Beats me.
When I did use PGP and just signed my mail, people regularly asked about my garbled message (pgp/inline) or broken attachments (pgp/mime). So, fix everybodys email client first, please.
I had a similar experience recently. Hardly anyone seems to do that. I shouldn't be too surprised, I guess. I had never used gpg to communicate with humans up to that point myself. But I had imagined that all the cool kids did.
