I've been thinking about privacy lately. It seems to me much more email should be encrypted. Many communications from the library might be personal and potentially damaging. Email from the library showing overdues, or holds might be sensitive. Would it be possible for our email systems to ask for a public PGP key along with email and then use that whenever sending out notices? Should my hospital, insurance company, bank, and so on be doing the same? Just asking, maybe we could take the lead on privacy in this area.
