Uh. Are you serious? I send an encrypted email for foo at bar.com and
"They" can see he has an account on my box. Right.... So how did they
eliminate the other million possibilities for my encrypting his mail?

And that's really beside the point, a) I don't _care_ if someone knows
foo at bar.com has an account on my box, and b) if I had set him up an
account on my box, the mail would have been addressed to
foo at mydomain.com anyway, as they would get an email account too =D

(that wasn't scary at all btw :))
