I discovered today that the Yahoo is automatically dumping GMail invites
into the 'Bulk Folder' as if they were SPAM. My girlfriend complained that
she never received my invite to try GMail so I tested the idea this
afternoon.

Attempt 1:
----------
From: [my gmail account]
Subject: gmail
Body: "test"

The email landed in my inbox.

Attempt 2:
----------
From: [my gmail account]
Subject: gmail
Body: [text from my gmail invite to my girlfriend]

The email landed in my Bulk Folder.

Smells fishy. :)
