I am working on trying to get all of my mail servers set up that way as we speak. I do however think it is important to point out a situation where emails were stolen or viewed by people they were not intended for and how that affected them.

According to the Guardian, many of the emails that were released that appeared to show climatologists covering up facts about global warming could have been kept secret. It would make sense that most governmental agencies would use secure email however it appears in this case that somebody was able to receive and access the emails because they were not encrypted. The media storm and fallout has been enormous. I would assume going forward this group of scientists headed by Phil Jones will find a way to keep the information they exchange just a little bit safer.
