gmail anyone?

[Antonie Kriek]

Hi

All of the email companies do this. The only difference is that Google
tells you that they are doing this.

I have my personal email that I use for private stuff and then I have
me gmail account that I use for mailing lists and normal day to day
email.

They can scan my email as much as they want - its a cool service and I
like not having to delete my mail.

They are also very good at filtering spam while hotmail sucks with spam!

GMail ROCKS!!!!!
