> If you understand how SMTP works, it's hard to argue that it's a private means of communication. You send a clear-text message to a publically-accessible service that is empowered to forward the message to other publically-accessible servers if necessary.
Whoa, hold it, I don't think so. Almost every SMTP server out there today requires authentication and quite a few require either SSL or TLS. That is the very definition of trying to keep things private.
Hell, I use Google's solution and have two-factor authentication set up.
Should I really start adding "this email is privileged and confidential" to every email like my lawyer?
