Hi,
I notices recently that gmail after you logon the header in the

is that normal?


Normal, in that it's how it has always behaved.

One trick that might not be as well known is that if you start your gmail session by typing or bookmarking https://mail.google.com and sign in, then it will remain SSL'd even after login. That's how I recommend people use the web interface.
