saw this a long time ago. gmail's policies are really no different than those of AOL, hotmail or any other web-based email programs. they all maintain some level of indefinite storage on their servers.

"Many privacy advocates, however, are up in arms because Google's computers will scan message content to choose the ads. One California legislator even introduced a bill banning such ads. But the truth is that virtually all e-mail content is scanned, usually multiple times, by antispam and antivirus systems. If you think e-mail can be read only by the intended recipient, whatever system you use, you are deluded."

yes, gmail does raise some privacy issues, but unless you're a spy or doing something illegal in the first place, you've nothing to worry about. i think the scary think about gmail, for most people, is the massive amout of emails (data) it can store. gmail is not much different than hotmail except for it's storage capacities.
