This was the point I was just about to make.

If someone *really* wanted your data, wouldn't they just seize your
local machine and read the unencrypted stored copies? Or even if it is
encrypted, they have a nice limited-size dataset there to hurl resources
at to crack the encryption--and it might not take many if you've chosen
a dumb password. Or if you're like most people and use the same password
for everything, it can probably be got from something else (e.g. any
unencrypted login, or some other app on the same machine storing it in
plaintext or with a weak hash). The whole operation probably either
needs to be done illegally or require a warrant of some kind, but it's
still got to be easier/cheaper than a lot of other options, if
encryption is employed.

Agree with that.

There is also a relatively large amount of Mlmmj development going on at
the moment, with most discussion happening on the bug tracker.

Hoping for a new release in a handful of weeks with some bug fixes and
new features. Just waiting for the dust to settle on a few current
issues.

Smiles,

Ben.
