No, as long as email providers do not have GPG/PGP support built into their web interfaces AND you give them your private key, then there is no way they can do that.
Of course that if you give them your private key..well. you got what you deserve :-P
Cheers.
I am not referring to an email-company decrypting your emails. But if you use an online service, like gemail, YOU will decript the incoming emails on your online account and then have the plain text version saved there. Or you write an email in plain text online, and decrypt it later to send it. And the decrypted version is always analised. The same happens on your big brother android phones: you receive an encrypted email, decrypt it on your phone and google will use it without saying thanks to you. So, as long as you decript encrypted emails in an online-account, it is well protected on its way, but not at the destination. Of course it is save to download an encrypted email and decrypt it on your own PC, as long as you are not using a browser, especially not chrome, to do so. I just believe that encrypting emails only makes sense if you use an offline email client that does not allow access to google, apple, microsoft or whoever... regards Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com personal facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mars.fotografo google+: https://plus.google.com/109534388657020287386 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
