13 Well, I don't really see a reason why one would want to encrypt those
14 mails. The only potentially sensitive information (package
15 name/version) is already contained in the subject and therefore
16 wouldn't be encrypted. And gpg support can be a bitch to maintain, so
17 I'd like to see the benefit before adding that feature.

24 In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
25 Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
