I realized after I sent that that I sounded like a real wanker. Just  
wanted to point out that one of the ways Google "monetizes" this free  
service is that they harvest the content of your email and sell it to  
advertisers. That's why you get ads that advertise the stuff you email  
about. They also store that information "indefinitely" and there's no  
robust privacy policy regarding that. If you're uncomfortable about a  
big, high profile outfit like Google having every email you send (or  
receive, by the way) in their archives to sell to anyone forever, you  
might want to look elsewhere. More info here:
