Nice done (though I didn't check the exact details). And I didn't see
any  broken HTML, maybe Michelle received a broken mail. Anyway, would
have been better to put the file on some web server and post the link here.

But what is so special about gmail that it needs its own documentation?
The SSL stuff is really helpful, I had some problems setting this up
properly, but not only with gmail.

btw, AFAIK fingerprint is only useful if the cert is not signed by a CA.
The downside is that is has to be changed if the cert changes (e.g.
expired).
