I use gmail as well and the way I get around it not sending my reply back to me, I BCC myself. Of course, I have to remember to do that each time but it works, for me at least. That may help you in the meantime. I'd like to move to a secure email provider myself. I found one but I can't find the link or remember the name at the moment. The server is in a country where privacy comes first. According to them, Govts just don't allow searches. After I hit send, maybe it will come to me. I do recall the cost not being to bad. I just hate switching plus I have PGP set up for those times when I need it. Looking forward to seeing where this thread goes. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
