Somewhere in the recesses of my memory I seem to recall reading a
paper which reported on a meeting discussing amongst other things the
reasons why Privacy Enhanced Mail has not been widely taken up on the
Internet.  I seem to recall it also talked about X.500, as well as
other security issues.  I thought it was an RFC but can't seem to
find it now.

Can anyone point me to a document which fits this description?
Any help gratefully received!
