Re: Tor-compatible secure email systems

 Well that should work. PGP offers more of an illusion of security than most people realize. If someone knows whos email they want to read, and can find you online. All they have to do is hack into your computer, steal your keyfile, and install a keylogger to capture your password, and blam - no more encrypted email.
 Of course this is easier said than done, but still quite possible. To be totally safe you would have to use PGP on a computer that was not connected to a network. You could do this with your method.
