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.  :-)

GMail, GoDaddy, and a local account (Socketworks) I have here all use
encryption to transact email from server-client and have for years.

GMail scans the content of its customer's e-mail and sells the results to third
parties. It's ironic to list them as good for security.
