Uhhh, no, but if they choose to ignore a standard (de facto maybe, if not de jure) like PGP, what makes you think they'll go ga-ga over the estamps idea?
Was this idea intended to be practical?
It was intended to be a Govt. initiative that would add legal weight to mails so that they don't get dropped or bounced, unless a particular email address is blocked for other reasons. It would also provide revenue to the postal dept. Inter-Govt. agreements at international levels can go a long way to solve this problem.
As technology grows better, its problems increase too. Today IMHO email has lost its importance in sending official or complaint mail. The influence of a paper letter is still hard to beat. Email is a hit and run system. You may get lucky or your mail will be simply dropped.
