There's data and then there's metadata. The former, as you note, can be protected via standard encryption techniques. The latter -- e.g., who sent messages to whom and when -- might be just as important, and it's not possible to encrypt. -- Paul Heinlein [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.madboa.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

A couple of points. 1) Regardless of whether or not Google can look into people's emails, it should be pointed out that the same could be said of so can many ISPs and specialised email hosting providers from whom people have their email hosted. I understand that Google deploys some form of encrypted filesystem for Gmail's store, but couldn't tell you much beyond that. You want your mail store to be secure - host it yourself and apply whatever encryption methods you see fit. 2) There is a plug-in for Firefox which will give your GPG capabilities with Gmail: http://www.instructables.com/id/Encrypt-your-Gmail-Email/ -- Martyn Drake http://www.drake.org.uk http://www.mindthegapps.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
