Actually, they may scan it and use it for their targeted text ads  
which only show in their web interface.  Show me where they have sent  
it to third parties or have disclosed otherwise.  Much like Pogue's  
rantings about intercepted wireless, there is no substantiation to  
such claims.  In fact, I'd personally trust Google more as my mail  
server than most other providers out there.  Laws may say they have  
to disclose, but if they don't, how will you know otherwise?

That said, I do run a mail server at home and my office as well.  At  
any point in the hop to any server, anything can be intercepted.   
It's part of using public backbones, and the internet in general.   
You have to put trust into any service where you are passing personal  
information.  You can't control it completely unless you lay your own  
dedicated lines.  Much like sending mail to this list.  :-)
