This is really a misnomer.  ALL webmail scans your email.  It has to in 
order to display it.  The difference is that while scanning it, gmail 
catches key words and puts small text ads related to that on the side.  
This is how they make money.  Other free web mail services make money by 
selling your address to companies who will send you spam about how your 
penis could be so much bigger.  You decide which you prefer.
