Why is it more secure?

I think I may have spoken too soon and stuck my foot in my mouth. The
site that claimed Tor wasn't as secure as people thought said that the message traveling from the sender to the first Tor server was in clear.
The same when the message traveling from the last Tor server to it's
final destination. I think the same problem exists with chained
remailers. Anyone want to correct me?

Is not tor a sort of "layer" over usual network layers? If yes, so, for http, yes, stuff is clear. But, https is not, if I am not wrong.

About mails, it is the same: if the sender does not use encryption systems of mailing standards, then stuff is in clear, otherwise, he is able to encrypt what he send, even when he did not reached the "secured area" given by first server/proxy.
