Gmail keeps editing mails. They have a concept of "dynamic emails" people can send now. Like if you get a mail notification about something in Docs, they will keep updating the mail in your inbox together with modified / added comments in the document.

Absolutely bonkers.

Microsoft has this now too with Loop components. If you put any text content around it that doesn't change, but the "Loop" component is a live doc and will update on the email client's end of the remote doc changes.
Low key: Loop is actually great. I think it's the first thing I've used that's captured the dream of what Google Wave wanted to be
Great for audits. And gmail ate my homework...
Jesus, I had no idea :-(
Damn, that must be why they keep making it harder and harder for independently run mailing lists to deliver to gmail users.
