When accessing your yahoo e-mail account, are messages that you view encrypted when sent? More precisely, if you are viewing your messages on a public / government network that logs packets are the messages sent to you in plain text…. or does yahoo encrypt the messages? If this is not so is there a way to set up yahoo to encrypt the packets it sends, or any third-party software that you can use in conjunction with yahoo to encrypt messages sent / received? This would be a big help since I would like to make sure that no one else (system admins and what not) can view my messages when I send or receive them. Thanks.
