Running gmail securely

Bobu just laid this amazing tidbit on me (amazing if you're a paranoid uber geek, like me). You can log into gmail thru https:// . Which runs the whole thing through SSL, making it as secure as pretty much possible as far as standards on the web go. Apparently his boss has been doing it that way for the longest time, and just now found it interesting to tell him.

Also the shortcut keys on gmail are pretty fucking neat. It's worth turning them on even if you're not a keyboard junkie (like me). The option is the 3rd one down in your general settings tab, under settings when logged into gmail.
