- mwint 5y agoProbably implemented in client side JS, which somehow makes this far less creepy to me.
- rbinv 5y agoIt's probably checked on the client.
- tirpen 5y agoThe next thing you know they will be looking at the CC and REPLY-TO headers! When will it stop?! Irony aside, I don't think this is any worse than for instance a text editor detecting programming languages by, yes, parsing the content in order to provide a useful function to the user.
- Saris 5y agoThe service also has to read your email to send/receive, and needs to parse the to: field at least to figure out where to send to. If you're worried about that I don't email is a good choice for you.
