Oh dear, there's always a catch.  This wouldn't be an issue if encrypted
body content was a thing but all the time that I had active pgp keys and
some savvy correspondents I got, over a few years, maybe a half dozen
encrypted bodies.

I am inclined to think of it this way:  can't trust TLS relays at all,
and they're just another relay.  At least I can send mail.  Am I being
naive?
