A friend suggested that if you wanted secure web based mail, check out www.hushmail.com. It looks like it has potential. Personally, I dont care who sees my mail. I'm boring. About the only big "discovery" they'll make is when my next tattoo apointment is. Email, by nature, is about as secure as a postcard. But you all know this. Anyways... hushmail is a neat site. Maybe this incedent will actually help them a bit. J. When I grow up, I wanna be more like me. I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an attitude.
