Is anybody even aware of any mainstream mobile email readers that support
encryption?  Or webmail interfaces?  I seem to remember a recent announcement
that Gmail will soon be supported plugins that could be used to read and send
GPG/PGP encrypted messages.

An encrypted mailing list won't help you much regardless of the compromised
nature of your device if you can't even read the encrypted messages. ;)
