But since we don't set off nukes all the time that's not as urgent issue as diplomats not being able to communicate

@AntDeRosa it's time for email to be phased out. SMTP is ancient, and insecure. Spend the money implementing an alternative. -
So what should diplomats, many working off devices that are themselves insecure, use for archivable comms?
@AntDeRosa -
archived, searchable messaging (E.g slack or something like it) is easier to store and encrypt.
