Wes, i was being sarcastic in my reply to the suggestion that iCloud (or any iSplat) products should be emulated on Plan 9.

Skip, why settle for "might even be secure" while using the platform of one of the companies that makes a practice of burglarizing your information home?

Why not use something like SpiderOak https://spideroak.com/?utm_expid=14446725-7.EXfixEIwRZmffqInbsytsg.0

- which lets you keep and control the encryption keys.

Or perhaps even better, the owners of SpiderOak put out a toolkit called Crypton https://crypton.io/ that lets you roll your own.

Much as I love Plan9, only a masochist would use it for email.I agreed with
Carmack as recently as 1997: "I spent a few months running Plan9. It has an
achingly elegent internal structure, but a user interface that has been
asleep for the past decade."


patches welcome
