You clearly don't archive your encrypted email...

Indeed -- I decrypt messages before saving them (and use separate
storage encryption to protect the mail store.) Nor do I save every
message sent and received (which I know some people do).

I've still got messages encrypted with PGP 2.0 sitting in my
mail storage.  The pgp encryption is better than any disk
encryption I could get -- especially considering that I dont
maintain my disk storage or backups myself. ;)

The wonders of "distributed computing"...
