I'm trying to encrypt email on my remote system and read it on my
local system. I'm the only one who needs to read the mail.
Should I delete the private key from the remote system? It sounds

there's no use in deleting it from the local system.

I like to end up with a raw/toc pair of files to act as a raw backup
of the CD, and a series of individual FLAC files for each track. For
the individual files, would you do that like this:
# cdda2wav -B -Oraw
# rm audio.cddb
