Subject: Re: Re: Gmail emails issue
Yes, I realize SSL is not that secure either, but I was just using it as an
example in comparison to plain ole pure-text email. The point I was making
is not to assume your emails are in any way private/secure. You must use
something else if you want any kind of "secure" communications medium.
There are plenty of solutions out there with varying levels of security, but
I had no intent on going through these and comparing them all.
