Gmail Works Over HTTPS!

Wow, the most shocking truth has been brought to my attention today: you can access Gmail over HTTPS! Just go to https://mail.google.com/ and let your email messages ride those SSL packets, entirely obfuscated to those evil Men In The Middle, to your heart's content. I had no idea... this is just great! I've always bemoaned the utter lack of privacy those free email services inflict on me, but now my life has changed... all due to a single 's'.

This is just a matter of hosting the pages on a secured server for Google, providing a secured environment to the users and gaining trust from users around the world.
