Alex, excellent point, however, Gmail does not send through my private
smtp server. It COULD! but it doesn't. So when I use GMAIL as my
front end for my private email, by your reckoning it should spam
filter out, no?

I don't think I'm alone in my use of Gmail as my primary front end
for email these days. Damn! the spam filtering (now that's ironic)
alone is worth the whole lack of a thick client.

Let's say for a second that we want a "secure" system in play. The
question is how to add security without getting in the way OR by
communicating enough value in the security that being in the way is a
feature and not a nuisance. 

Throwing MORE security at something to me is not really a viable
answer.

Considering the lack of security I'm amazed that in 4  years of this
list there has never been a complaint about abuse. Hmmmm?
