One more thing: gmail now lets you send restricted emails.
I don’t think they’re encrypted, but you can send set an expiration date and prevent them from being forwarded.

Handy. Now if my mail would just make it to the recipient.

I didn't understand the OP until I read Nedsaid's post. So

Vanguard had recommended a 20% of equity allocation

means they recommended that 20% of equities be international equities? Maybe you had that before and it got lost in subsequent edits.
