SMTP is a plaintext protocol. On the "I hate Americans" thing, I don't! Some of my best friends are Americans (and in fact I've never met around 70% of my best friends). I just said it makes a pleasant change, that's all. The fact that I assumed my correspondent was American indicates just how many of them I encounter online; the fact that my assumption was false shows that I'm far too old and the Internet is becoming far more international than I'd hitherto realised. I think that's a good thing, even though I get on just fine with Americans. Really I do! (Just don't ask me to speak in an American accent. It comes out as half-Australian, half-Irish, and half-Chinese. And half-baked, too. No, I am not from Australia, Ireland, or China. Or baked.)
