GMail Messages are Vulnerable to Interception?

No official word on this yet but the site below sounds convincing enough. Worth a look if you use Gmail a lot.

Wondering if something had happened during the message transmission, we viewed the message source via GMail's "Show original" link. In the source, we did not see any of the HTML code that GMail was showing us. No HTML at all, as we did not even use it in our newsletter. It appeared as a regular run-of-the-mill plain text message.
We became curious as to what had gone wrong, and whether it was an error in the script, or in the GMail messaging system. We examined the the output of our Perl script, and discovered that it was not transmitting the "From" header (in the message body) correctly - the trailing ">" character was missing in the address area.
Where it should have been "From:<hbxnetworks@gmail.com>", we had "From:<hbxnetworks@gmail.com".
This, apparently, was enough to get GMail to provide us with some portion of someone else's messages.
