Is encrypting my email any good at defeating the NSA survelielance? Id
my data protected by standard encryption?

Answer:

    Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one
of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security
is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it.
