This is every bit as much about email you receive as email you send, and you are not in control of email you receive.

If your doctor slips up and emails you about your AZT prescription, it doesn't matter how careful you were about not disclosing your HIV status over email you sent.

yes, my point is that we should make sure that _no one_ is stupid enough to secrets in plain text.

with criminal repercussions

Or better: don't use email and don't give an email address out to people who hold your secrets.
