This URL is a response from PGP Inc to critics that mentions an aspect of their
corporate message recovery capability that I had not noticed before: If the
feature is used, both sender and recipient are informed that the message has
been encrypted with a corporate message recovery key. This is a lot different
from GAK laws where there is no notice and no chance to opt out. (Note to
critics who would say that businesses can make use of the feature mandatory:
There is a big difference between 1) having to use a personal ISP account and
your own key to send non-business email and 2) having to leave the country to
send it or face breaking the law.)
