Nonetheless, in my opinion this is still the best possible balance you 
can get between simplicity and security.

Sure, if you send your data through a Google's webmail, Google (like any 
other provider) will read all your contents, and use them (even if they 
don't admit ot openly). On the other hand, leaving the things as they 
are now, as I explained in my earlier email, is much worse, because 
passing through a regular SMTP will seriously compromise your privacy.
