Wow. I didn't know this and I use gmail and archive as well. Shezzzzzzzz........now I have to consider changing my email address and use the gmail for my blogging etc. Maybe just not archiving is the answer, and perhaps setting up another account with yahoo or whatever and send those mails you want to save to that other account. Good idea, I think.
Thanks for the post.
That is a very scary thing!!
Almost like an email capture script or something!!Sure coder knew exactly what they were doing.Scary stuff!
