New ENCRYPTED email address

Just wrote this email to a few friends. Thought it would be a good post to the blog as well….

Hi all,

Heather and I are tired of sending our personal emails as if they were postcards where anyone can read them. We wanted to at least have the OPTION of privacy, which we didn’t have until now.

You can now send us email at:

(My private email address is below in a link….Sorry but trying to keep spam to a minimum)

and it will be totally encrypted end to end. Even hushmail (the company providing this service) can’t read it. But the hitch is that you must have your own hushmail account. The free account you create will disappear in 3 weeks if it’s unused. so, conceivably, you could create new account whenever you wanted to send Heather or I a private email. It’s easy to create
an account. Just go to:

http://www.hushmail.com

(you do have the option of paying to get a more permanent account if you so choose.)

Here’s the cool part (for us). If anyone sends us an email to our new addresses, our old email addresses gets an email saying a new email on the hushmail account is waiting. So this saves us from having to check two email accounts. It’s just an account sitting there that serves a purpose. ie, PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

Wish it didn’t require any action on your part, but end to end encryption unfortunately must be agreed upon by both parties, hence this email.

thanks and best regards,

chris and heather

P.S. Our old email addresses still work. You don’t HAVE to do this. Only if you want to.

P.S.S Heather and my accounts are private from each other as well, if that matters. We can’t read each others mail.
