Yes. The cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints in red, bold, 36 pt Helvetica. No pop-ups, no flashy animations—these are physically impossible in the paper medium.
How about attachments?
All part of the deal. Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper, and secured to your Gmail Paper with a paper clip. MP3 and WAV files will not be printed. We recommend maintaining copies of your non-paper Gmail in these cases.
Is there a limit?
You can make us print one, one thousand, or one hundred thousand of your emails. It’s whatever seems reasonable to you.
But what about the environment?
Not a problem. Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.

“Gmail Paper is a scrapbooker's dream. I paper archive all of my son's emails, cut them out in creative shapes, and paste them in my binders.”
Anna-Christina D., Lifecoach
“I've always felt uneasy about the whole internet thing. With the help of Gmail Paper, now I'm taking matters back into my own hands, literally.”
Kevin S., CEO AdventaStar Inc.
"Now that I have Gmail Paper, I understand the difference between labels and folders. I had one message with two labels, but when I tried to stick the paper version into two filing cabinets at the same time, it just wouldn’t go."
Mayumi M., Associate
"It's paper, plain and easy. I sometimes find myself wondering: what will Google think of next? Cardboard?"

I'd use it if it supported handwriting script. If I could upload a sample of my handwriting and then have Gmail produce all my mail with it it I would never have to handwrite another letter again. Maybe they'll also have a pay service to eliminate the targeted ads.

I think that way too many people would get way too pissed off about this for it to be a joke.

Could you while you are at it reccomend a program for getting a font made of this handwriting? I just assume you have done this.
P.S. soybean-sputum... FAKE!

The testimonials are a dead giveaway that this is fake, although having an internet service print and deliver messages you write on-line through the mail is an interesting concept.

I was looking more at the cost aspect myself. It's simply not practical from a marketing standpoint for Google to offer this service for next to nothing when people can just buy a frakking printer.
