Gmail Loader

Wow, I see that Mark Lyon has developed a Gmail Loader, which can take mail in standalone mail clients and load them into gmail. That's cool. I'd use it, but I've been using gmail so long that I don't even remember some of my old email addresses :-). I certainly don't have those mboxes around anymore.

It'll be very useful though, for when I convince everyone around me to upload their mail to gmail for archiving/backup purposes :-).

I should test it though to see what happens with executable attachments. Currently Gmail blocks executable attachments and even looks inside zip and .tar/.tar.gz files to see if they contain executables, so likely the same happens with uploaded email.
