Answer
Most of the time the emails are sent PLAIN TEXT over unencrypted links so there is no security to speak of in email.
Most governments have access to all that so while this is well discussed, if you want secure mail, put it in an envelope and snail mail it.

And G-mail
Gmail is set to use the 'Always use https' setting by default. HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure protocol that provides authenticated and encrypted communication.
