Prevent Picasaweb private albums from redirecting to Google +

When I shared my private albums on Picasaweb, via e-mail only, the damn thing is still redirecting to Google Plus. I have trouble viewing these albums in firewall settings and not everyone of my friends has Google+. Here is how you prevent this from happening.

 You take the link with Auth key to your private album, and add  "&noredirect=1" in the end. That should work. Not sure why this is default behaviour when you wanted to share via e-mail. I hate Google+. There can be better integration.

-Enjoy.
