Adding advertising in the mail you send and recieve is just bad.Deemo wrote:google is going to take over the world!! :twisted:

(If that was stated in the link by Bech100, excuse me. That link was asking for a username/password when I tried it.)
Translated from a swedish emag: "We think that it's an invasion of privacy. It's like having an enormous advertising billboard wight in the middle of your home - says the democratic senator Liz Figueroa".
Meaning? The mails are being spidered, so that their software know what ads to place where.
Interesting if you were to talk about snuggling/sex/similiar with THE (tm) girlfriend/boyfriend you just met and WHOPPA suddenly an ad about <span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> is there... (Hi Jason ;) lol)
Good idea, bad in practise imho.

Good points, tho I've never seen Hotmail use ads in their mailsystem...
I still think that using Spamassassin or it's likes, isn't very much the same thing. There they search mail based on a list of 'bad' words, rather than gather the entire mail for other usage. I personally think it's a big difference.
Note that when you delete a mail at GMail, it is still stored somewhere within their serverfarm databases. If I want to delete something, I actually do want it gone. Not being used by a third party for statistics or anything else 5 years later it was sendt.
Perhaps just my personal integrity.
