Google doesn't "read" your mail any more than any of the others. They scan for keywords and if you view it through a browser and don't have software to block ads a small one appears. But since I download it into an otherwise unused copy of Outlook Express, I don't get any ads at all.

That's an awful lot of work to sort out if an email message is a problem, that copying and printing and sending in groups of five and such. I suspect something that was needed to fix a problem in a 1997 edition of the software is overkill in 2006.
