Unless you're encrypting all of your emails before you send them, your
emails aren't private at all. You're simply trusting that someone isn't
reading them along the multiple points from your computer to your
recipient.

I'll also bet that your email program sends your password in the clear to
your ISP when you check your mail...

Privacy on the Internet? You can't assume it's there - you kinda have to
work at it.
