Finally got rid of Google accounts - all gone. What's the alternative to Google? BING looks promising. Nice touch when you first go there: a grapic of the Indian Ocean with snippets of history about Rottnest. Bill On 24/02/2012, at 7:54 PM, cm wrote: One more possibility occurred to

Hi Darrel, Thanks for pointing that out. I had a cut-and-past excerpt from the news aggregator site in the original post. My guess is that for some reason it doesn't show up in your email client -- might have to do with text colour or font. It does show up, incidentally, in your reply to me.

One more possibility occurred to me. If you are using the online mail archive, it probably does not support embedded links. So here is the link spelled out: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/02/how-remove-your-google-search-history-googles-new-privacy-policy-takes-effect Hope this one works.

Hi Muggers, If you have a gmail mail account, you may also have a search history with Google. To quote a news aggregator site Google's new privacy policy will consolidate all your data at google.com — unless you erase it first. And today is your last day to do it. The change goes into effect
