I use gmail as well and the way I get around it not sending my reply |
50 |
back to me, I BCC myself. Of course, I have to remember to do that each |
51 |
time but it works, for me at least. That may help you in the meantime. |

I'd like to move to a secure email provider myself. I found one but I |
54 |
can't find the link or remember the name at the moment. The server is |
55 |
in a country where privacy comes first. According to them, Govts just |
56 |
don't allow searches. After I hit send, maybe it will come to me. I do |
57 |
recall the cost not being to bad. I just hate switching plus I have PGP |
58 |
set up for those times when I need it. |
