Sometimes it is interesting and those emails I wouldn't like the isp
guys to read ... but well, I said it's possible too but not easy. Do you
mean it's easy for the isp guys to read the passwords and ssl emails too?
I mean this small isp who has some windoze guys as admins?
My emails are not at the isp server, btw, the email server is far away and
in trusting hands! Would you mind explaining a bit more clearly please?
Thanks
