Er, I wasn't complaining, I was just trying to point out that filtering
mail based on the gmail.com domain is, for all practical purposes,
pointless.  Robert Reese's initial comment about gmail seemed, to me, to
be a knee-jerk reaction to a perceived invasion of privacy.  I would
argue that one should not expect *any* privacy or security with regards
to email in the absence of encryption.  There is nothing that prevents
an unscrupulous person from storing all email sent through a server
under his/her control (whether that control is legitimate or the result
of a breakin is irrelevant).  This same person could run any number of
programmatical analyses and/or build profiles based on captured email.

Maybe we should be able to have a resonable expectation of privacy with
regards to email, but the reality is that the current infrastructure
does not allow it.
