I use G-Mail which is Google's e-mail program. It does the same thing. If I type "spam", all of a sudden there's a link up in the header for spam casserole. I think it's in their program and it recognizes key words. Those words are linked with ads that then appear in the header or off to the side. It's all part of modern day advertising,....kind of smart and sneaky, don't you think?
