This would be a great idea especially for sensitive PM between users, not sure if PGP can be added to PM's but maybe a Wickr based system to could be implemented.The title pretty much says it. End to end encryption for PM's would be pretty cool but idk if it would be possible.
End to end encryption is important but why rely on the service provider when the power is in your hands? Just like bitcoin and being your own bank, be your own firewall.
Use PGP and encrypt your own messages that way even if something happened to the service, you wouldn't have to worry about it.
Her are some PGP resources:

I have to throw my support behind BitcoinXio and BitcoinNewsMagazine on this. Not only should you not expect a forum (nor any site) to encrypt PMs or trust them to do it properly, you should expect that they will save a copy of your message prior to encrypting it for you. That is not something that would happen here, but then how can you take our word for that? We're just pseudonymous moderators on an internet forum. Would you trust a stranger on the street to deliver a private letter for you when he or she knows that its contents may contain information you don't want others to know? Would you trust him or her not to read it or make a copy of it?BitcoinXio is right. You really should not expect a forum to encrypt PMs or trust them to do it properly. Do it off forum using encrypted messaging apps or PGP encrypted email.
