how will the interface work? If you encrypt it on your computer first and then insert it into the email, it might work. But if you type it into Google first, it saves a draft continually, thus grabbing your email before it gets encrypted

Lol, Google always have a backdoor for the NSA to get in easily.

the NSA will find a way, if Google thinks it do better, its wrong

[HobertMcFarlandtechandcargeek]

The NSA will take 3 years to get smart enough to crack Google's service of Gmail and therefore read the emails.

Your pretty face can read my mail even with the strongest security. (Corny)
