Email for Life

Authorities in Australia are considering an "email address for life" to bring email and snail-mail closer together. What a novel concept—I like it—though there are privacy considerations. Imagine a massive governmental mailbox, where every letter and package is open and available for deviants and government to see. Will we be seeing an e-version of those envelopes that supposedly prevent people from seeing the contents without opening? Oh yea, thats called encryption.
