Googlebot Indexing Emails, What Will They Think of Next?

Sometimes I have to ask – Google, what the hell are you thinking? Googlebot has a way of sneaking into almost every crevice of the web (it is quite remarkable in all actuality), but in the process seems to indiscriminately publish items of all kinds of nature. While I am certainly not surprised, I recently came upon Google’s indexing of the .eml file extension. This is most commonly used for archived emails. As you can plainly see, Google is now indexing and displaying these files. No tags for this post.
