Some misinformed info in there about not starting your messages with obvious niceties "Dear fred" or including the same text at the bottom of all your emails (your email signature). If the crypto is good, this doesn't matter - it's not deterministic encryption. If it can't pass a known plaintext attack, you shouldn't be using it. GPG does.
