One problem with this is (beleive it or not) security, a corporation can't see
what is in the email if it's encrypted, thus preventing them from taking
corrective measures against coorporate espoinage. Military is the same, they
allow telnet and ftp out, but no sh etc. They don't care that you are making
a connection as long as they can see what you are doing.

I am waiting for the day where I have my USB flash drive and I plug it into the
computer and email, https and ssh all realize there are some keys on it and uses
them. Right now it has putty and peagent on it giving me ssh access to my kit at
home, but it would be nice for it all to work properly. It probably won't happen
for the reasons given above.
