Hello people,

I was having a small think about Signing/Crypting Mails.

To propagate the thought of protecting your privacy how much of a sense
would this scenario make:

My mum has an e-mail address and I want to make sure it's REALLY her and
when she mails me her super secret recipes that none else can read it.

Therefor I generate a PGP key for her but with no password or (if
possible) I store the passphrase in the password manager.

Advantage even if someone will intercept my message it is still crypted
and I know it's my mum!

If it's a Single User PC wouldn't it make sense?
If it's multiuser and "basic" login password protection is present and
the right permissions are on the key wouldn't it make sense?

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Steve Clement

Better living through Mum's Crypted Recipes!
