i've been getting email from pps that are coming for aol, yahoo, etc etc etc.. you should look into an encripted account like hushmail, ziplip, or cyber-rights(seems to be a popualur one)

anyway with these accounts then you don't have to worry as much about someone reading your mail except the person that it's intended for..

just my two cents..

a misconception to those who don't know.

Ziplip is ONLY encrypted when sending a "secure" version of the email with a password on it.

hushmail is ONLY encrypted when sending hushmail to hushmail.

Cyber-rights is the same concept of hushmail. The privatized/licensed the hushmail engine so cyber to cyber is safe, everything else is NOT encrypted.

Elitefitness email is the same as cyber, and hushmail. Elite to Elite is safe, everything else is readable.

Some other "encryption" services are ONLY safe when sending emails to other address on that system. All other emails are vulnerable to interception.

Just thought I'd clear that up. It's important that people know and automatically assume that an email from a cyber to ziplip is encrypted.. because it isn't!!

I couldn't agree more. AOL is the YUGO of ISPs.
