I'd perhaps add a note here that the reason the encryption is a
problem is that developers may not have their mail client set up
for easy and fluid operation with encrypted mail, making the
process of reading the mail needlessly difficult, or it may cause
some mail clients to encrypt replies to everyone including the
list which obviously won't work well.  But that's not essential,
either way
