I mean the I would really only include the code for things like:

- Fetching email messages

- Parsing email headers

- Mime parsing

- Converting the text of email bodies into UTF-8

- Threading messages

- Eliding reply text

Given that the official story is that pb made the first version of Gmail in a day, does anyone actually believe that he wrote the code for any of those things in a day? If you honestly believe that I have a bridge to sell you.

Wait till you learn that the source code in Chrome also predates the existence of Google.
