    FYI, he is censoring his blog. I asked the same question there, and it's been magically erased.

  2. Because you already read messages from Google? by Meshach · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wonder if that message is marked as important because you read the other message from Google (the Welcome message)? I can only assume that messages are marked important / non-important based on your reading habits and with so little to go on maybe that is all it takes for GMail to consider the message "Important"?
