EVERY mail server "reads" your mail. How do you think spam filters work? However, GMail targets you with ads similar to the Google Ads on webpages. On the flip side, I'd bet Y! and MSN are making their own database of information about you to target you with ads. I know they at least use your profile as I get a lot of Orlando and FL (where I live) ads and I think I've gotten a couple of local big resteraunts. So if you are paranoid about your "horsefuker" pr0n use something more secure...like PGP your email and make sure everyone you email has their own SMTP server.
