Gmail's Spam/recipe folder

spamFor email, I use Gmail. One of the greatest things about Gmail is that it is pretty good about sequestering all spam email into a separate folder.

It would be lovely if the spam emails were automatically deleted instead of filed away, but that's a rant for another blog. So for now, I must click into the spam folder, click "all" and "delete forever." At the rate I get spam email, I have to do this about 5 times a day before it gets scary in there.

I just saw that Gmail has added a lovely feature to the top of my spam folder. Every time I go in there to delete spam email, a new recipe that includes the real Hormel Spam appears! You can even scroll back and forth through them right there in the top bar. My spam email folder is now a recipe box for Spam!

So far, I've seen a Creamy Spam Broccoli Casserole, Spam Breakfast Burrito, and the best of the lot, Spam Vineyard Salad. The recipes come from recipesource, so I'm not sure if these are "sponsored" recipe links, or just a lovely new feature that those kids over at Google thought would be fun(ny).

Actually, according to Google (sez at the top of the message list) that spams will be automatically deleted at 30 days...But I just noticed that myself, kind of a cool little "easter egg" adjunct to Gmail's new "web clips", basically an RSS/Atom feed to your mailbox listing.
