I've often suspected this - sometimes it seems like it has to be - and yet when I test it by sending a gmail to myself, I don't see the crawl follow. The problem otherwise, is that if i send the email to someone with the Google toolbar installed, or a Chrome user - then if they click on the link, there goes the data off the Google via another channel.

I just have hints but no proof: Is Google spidering URLs which appear in email? [webmasterworld.com]

No evidence but I wouldn't be surprised. One could very easily attribute it to Gmail when it could be toolbar, or Chrome though.

Thanks, i'm going to run a controlled experiment and will report back if I have conclusive results.
