Try it for yourself.

If you have 2 gmail accounts. Send an email saying you hope they feel better after the operation at so and so hospital.

Then reply.

not exactly. if you read their terms carefully, unless they have changed since beta, it says that e-mail messages can be archived and a human editor may at one point in time read through SOME (not necessarily yours) to ensure that the ads are in agreement with the content.

this is why i never bothered with beta. perhaps now they've changed that in their tos.

besides that... this is as much news as saying bush invaded iraq....
