Well again, Matthias is interested in end-to-middle and middle-to-middle 
encryption, not end-to-middle encryption. But he wants to know that each 
channel is encrypted. That's a different problem from end-to-end 
encryption, for which we have several different solutions (PGP, S/MIME, 
and Encrypted Sessions).
