Brett brings up the most important point of all here. Unless the ToS pop up for everyone who's about to send an e-mail to a gmail account, then they're doing this to people without their consent. It'll be interesting to see how this works through.

Sounds like this issue might be the specific reason why G hasn't been on the PR bandwagon. They probably were hoping to quietly get a decent sized user base and then worry about these pesky privacy details after they had happy customers.
