Facebook can use PGP to send you encrypted e-mails

I just found out that you can add your public PGP key for encryption in your "Contact and Basic info" settings on Facebook.

So that when Facebook wants to send some e-mail, automated stuff that is sent out, or password remainders for example. The e-mail will be encrypted.

Here are some other random links about it that I googled for you.
