Gmail invites

I have 5 Gmail invites if anyone's interested.

Gmail is Google's beta test version of mail where you never have to delete anything, you get a free gigabyte of storage, messages are displayed in threads (conversations) and you use searches and filters instead of folders.

Find out more here.

If you'd like one, let me know your e-mail address.

Have they given up the targeted advertising clause, where they snoop your mail for keywords in order to "personalize" the advertising they bombard you with? And then they had the cluelessness not to understand why it was a privacy issue. It would take a lot for me to trust those guys.

No, they haven't, though no humans look at your mail. There's some info on that here (http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=43). I don't care; I'm only getting mailing lists sent there as I like the way they put threads together.

It's no use for LJ mail for that very reason though; they all get regarded as part of the same 'conversation' because they have the same header.

I must admit, if I'm looking at threads in mailing-list mail, I find the thread-mode in mutt is good enough for me...
