  It would make it easier in some cases, but you do lose security - anybody
  who can somehow get themselves onto the list can read it, and anybody
  compromising the mailing list host automatically gets to read everything.
  If
  the senders do the encryption, that doesn't happen.

  Whether most people need that level of security is another question, but
  then again most people don't use encrypted mailing lists at all... :-)
