Gmail/SSL

[M. Peterson]

Hello

that is nor relly an encryption news, as the problem is not the ISP reading
Gmail Emails, but Google reading Gmail Emails.
Is there any way to encrypt the Gmail accounts? Like with enigmail -> GENIG
MAIL?
So ok, both users need to install this plugin and it would be not able to be
uses in the webmail acoount I guess,
but for a normal Thunderbird users of Gmail it should be possible to use
enigmail or any tother PGP encryption? Maybe retroshare.sf.net or
http://retromessenger.sf.net over Gmail? Whatever. Mime/SSL encryption.
That would be a nice plugin for Gmail, to exclude Google from reading my
emails. maybe as flash integrated in the browser of the gmail web account.
Sorry, maybe offtopic, but I thinkt hat is even more needed that surfing
anonmous with tor.
The retention data od the IP is less interesting than the spy on CONTENT.
Emails and Websites of course.
