it did not have the same effect, unfortunately. ;) perhaps they are just trying to appease the masses with some hand-waving? after logging in, the session would briefly jump to an insecure connection for some reason or another, which could even be witnessed by watching the URL in the address bar, and then jump back to a secure connection. the hope is now that this doesn't happen. although i personally stopped using gmail long ago not because of this but because of their privacy policies and retention of deleted e-mails, even after a google account has been closed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFIno44XhfCJNu98qARCOCfAKCj8hWHziYsmeHLOzFcF1f1nLaxIwCfbJ19 J4f+mzmsUd8GvCRJCPsuTvQ= =NJAr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
