Google archiving everything doesn't really matter to me as I'm not going
to say anything in an email that I would really care if anyone else saw
it or not. Anyway, I also host my own mailserver on blackcube.org. If
I did need to say something that I really want to be able to eliminate
all traces, I'd route it through there. With all of the surveillance
laws and corporate accountability laws in place these days, who is to
say that any random ISP isn't archiving all email that passes through
their servers anyway?
