The problem with elite mail rarely has anything to do with Elite itself but rather the hush encryption system that most of the secure e-mail systems use (hushmail, hush, elitefitness, cyber-rights, etc). Ziplip and a couple others use their own proprietary encrytion program or another spin-off of PGP.
Therefore, if steroidology negotiates something with hush to use their encryption engine then we'd be in the same boat when the others had problems.
