Yet, each time I go to www.gmail.com, Google redirects me to theGerman version of Gmail. I think the only reason this happens is thefact that my real browser is German. But how can Google detect that?There are no other relevant URL patterns that match for Google onPrivoxy (i.e. no exception rules) as far as I can tell. Any ideas?

Have you ever logged into that account without using privoxy or thespoofing turned off? Especially when you signed up for your account?
