You're probably right, Richard. However, Jan asks a valid email question.

If one wants *relatively* secure, protected email, how do you enable this?

It appears the following might be the easiest & simplest. Is this correct?

Use a stand-alone device (eg no unique ethernet/MAC address) with wireless 
internet dongles (eg no static IP number). Also use a webmail service, for
example Gmail which utilizes forward-secret https, and NOT a email client,
with a privacy browser, eg, the proxy Epic browser: http://epicbrowser.com

Would that do it? Sure, Google wants to be private, but may not be seen as 
such. But, we are talking normal local (Australian) email hacking attempts.

Cheers,
Stephen
