There still is a much easier way to decrypt mails. I'm not talking about
a completely encrypted hard disk. Get the non-public, private key. Is
this key saved in a file on a computer that is connected to the web,
e.g. for usage directly with your mail client? Hack the firewall and get
that key or burglarise the flat to get access to the non-public, private
key.
