Re: PGP and Compliance with SEC and Liability Rules

However, this doesn't seem to work, unless I'm mistaken about CMR
enforcement and the SEC regulations. CMR will only allow the snoops
to read incoming email, not outgoing, and hence if Joe Blow at
Foo-Bah.com wants to send me some handy insider trading tips CMR will
not stop them. So this seems to be another justification for CMR
which just doesn't make sense.
