Ah - I stand corrected!

Have checked, and it seems the services I cited - hotmail/yahoo/gmail 
*all* seem to fallback to HTTP after sign-on.

This is presumably a resource saving measure.

Google provide an "Always use HTTPS" option, which I suspect Roland has 
enabled.  (Presumably google are banking on few people using it).  As far 
as I can see, neither hotmail nor yahoo provide similar, at least in their 
free offerings.
