I've gotta stop writing cryptic messages that don't explain themselves.
<GRIN> What I mean is that what Google does is have bots searching through
the contents of your e-mail for key words and so on, and then the
advertising it gives you is targetted based on the results of those
searches. They say no human will ever read these messages, but just to be
on the safe side, I wouldn't use it for sensitive e-mail. On the other
hand, if something is truly private and confidential, what with e-mail
being what it is, I wouldn't use e-mail for it anyway. Hope this helps.
