[olug] google mail

[Rob Townley]

Ever click on a link in hotmail?  Every web page visited this way goes
through MSN.com servers.  Like Brad Templeton's article states, gmail
is not the only email service that has privacy issues.  I try not to
use gmail for personal use, but find it great for email lists.
