An attorney relative of mine is a lawyer who specializes in "Drunk while driving" cases. He found that when he sent emails to his clients using gmail, with the word "DUI", his clients, on their webmail pages, had ads for "DUI" lawyers (his competitors) on their browser pages. Needless to say, he stopped using that word. I guess that's the price of a free email service: marketing based on your email content. Bill
