Adding advertising in the mail you send and recieve is just bad.
(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.

JAM: It's free. How do you think most email services filter out spam? By spidering the emails they receive.

Anyways, most email providers put ads in their emails already (yahoo, hotmail, etc).. at least this ads MAY be relevant.

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.

It would be intrusive if the employees of Google actually read the email. It only runs through their engine everytime you view the message. Big deal.

I'll be one of the first people to sign up. ;)
