As for censorship, if you are worried about that then you probably shouldn't be using Gmail at all. > I believe this has also been suggested by others in the past, but went > nowhere; along with the concept of an "X-Original-Authentication-Result" > header, although those could be easily forged, and we're back to the > subjectivity of trust problem.
