One strong driving force for this was people doing secure messaging (EDI and
the like), so you're more likely to find it being used at that level rather

True, but as DoD policy shifts toward "Thou shalt encrypt email with the
following types of information contained therein," we keep hearing
complaints about increased bandwidth consumption.
To which my best answer is "Thou shalt not use email as a file transfer
protocol," but obviously that's not gaining any traction. :)
Automated compress-before-encrypt in a couple of common MUAs would at
least make salving the worried planners easier.
