Hmm, I find the same type of access speech wise whether one uses pgp
keys in their email or not.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I do not admit to knowing why
others choose to use pgp in their email messages however my reasons are
mainly because any message I write when pgp-signed can be verified it's
from me and not someone's windows addressbook which is infected by a
virus.
