Story: Lycos follows suit with one-gigabyte storage

This 1 GB of storage is not too strange, and I would be willing to subscribe, but the story does not tell essential details. For example, does the advertising appear (pop-up?) only on messages you read, or those you send also? I don't know that I want to send a message to a friend, or business partner, that includes an ad. The relatively-obscure ads that appear at the bottom of Yahoo and Juno messages is not a problem, but a pop-up in the middle of a message's text? No! And, it is an ad selected as of possible interest to the sender, or mailbox client, right? How does the service know the message recipient has similar interests? That's just for starters.
