Well, actually it made me Laugh Out Loud (but then I'm easily amused)..
I've recently moved my e-mail account to gmail (aka googlemail) having generously been given an invite by an existing "member". (You have to be invited - you can't just sign up...)
I cleared out my "spam" folder - and got the above result... (the red ovals are my own additions to the screen cap). It really did make me LOL 'cos I wasn't expecting it!
(Anyone want any invites? I've got lots to spare..)
Cheers,
Diolma

Partly true. You can get a gmail account without an invite IF you have a valid cell phone number. I signed up that way.
Gmail accounts are really nice, I must admit. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but now, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Could be worse, could be raining.

If you click the little arrows next to the spam recipe, you can cycle through a bunch of them :)

I've had gmail for some time and didn't know any of this, LOL.
I'm not happy with my gmail anymore, for some reason the enter button stopped working in it and any emails I try to write are all on one line. Not sure what went wrong, but I've got yahoo also and that seems to work ok for me, except I can't save any jpg's attachments and view them larger. :(

Hey Ray,
I don't think I'd want to turn off anything rich, LOL. But seriously, if I did do that, I haven't a clue how. I haven't tried to change any settings. I chalk this up to another one of those bizarre mysteries I have with computers. Like when I was typing this message the first time it seemed to freeze, then next thing I knew it was back out in the forum and I had to come back in and retype it all again. Just another mystery.
Hope you're doing well btw. Haven't had a chance to chat in ages.
Hugs

That's Google context derived targetted advertising for you. You can get the oddest adverts popping up. I for one don't mind a slice or two of spam grilled on a stick around the camp fire in the wilderness, and then fed to the grizzly bear who wondered into the camp... it was between me and the spam.. he preferred the spam, honest.
