It may or may not be feasible to do it transparently on the list
software side, but it certainly isn't feasible to do it on the reader
side. I for one certainly am not going to make a daily effort to move
mail from the internet-connected box to the one that knows my secret
key, and type in my 100+ character passphrase several times in order
just to get to know that ${INSERT_RANDOM_DD} will be on vacation.
Better to drop -private completely then, and what does that gain
anybody?
