Damn me and my geeky love for new things. Thanks to Armand (cheers mate) I now have a shiny Gmail account, and have set up forwarding rules that copies everything I receive and everything I send from my qwghlm.co.uk mail account to Gmail, creating a scary Googlable archive of my mail (à la Danny O’Brien). I wonder how long it will take to fill that gig of space?

If you’re worried about the privacy concerns then you really shouldn’t be using something as insecure as plaintext email anyway…fuck it, just encrypt it with my key and it’ll be fine. I can’t do Danny’s idea of using X-No-Archive (yet) as my mail forwarding settings aren’t that refined, nor are Gmail’s incoming filters (maybe worth filing a feature request report on that one?)
