The only advantage of PGP is that it's what people use.  Phil
Zimmermann spoke at Apple last year and said that at that time, if you
measured how people encrypted their mail on the wire (when they did,
which wasn't terribly often), it was virtually all using PGP's formats
(they could be using PGP or gpg or something else).  Everything else
combined was epsilon (negligible) and PGP was the rest.  His comment a
year ago was that ``PGP *is* encrypted mail''.
