The second difference is that for public mailing lists, I would have little concern about messages read by third parties (robotic or human), because everything written to a mailing list / newsgropup / forum etc is an open message which can be read by anybody anyways (in realtime or in the archives). However, a private mail to a confidant using gmail is another quality, IMHO. -- Cheers, Thomas.
