I can't remember which one, but I think it was Yahoo!. Basically, their advertising sales team was going out and trying to sell ad space on their web mail with the demographics and behavioural data on their users. Of course, this all came from the adverts, not from the actual emails, but the user tracking in there was active and it did tell them more than you really want known about you. It seems to me that it's only a small step to doing analysis on the actual emails to see how to market more effectively at you, and in some legislations that would be perfectly legal.

Compare and contrast against Bascule. Oh, and you should probably watch out for a drive-by incident with a brown Sierra any time now. > You can usually tell how long someone has been online by weather or > not they have any numbers after ther name in an email address from > places like hotmail and yahoo mail. I say that you can tell how long someone has been online by whether they know enough to avoid these dumb american web mails and the amount of personal privacy lost by using them. > Few people use the name akula, and I found out why, put two K's in it > and it becomes serb for Twat!
