I don't know what triggered this, it was next to an email message not even containing a package number (or that number of zeroes...)...

Well, did you track it? :D

I guess that the email conversation is related to "A Hacked Google Account".

Yup...

Is this crazy? What if Gmail had an option to export a conversation to Google Docs or to automatically publish it to a web page? The closest option is "print all".

I saw that the other day too. It was asking me to track my mobile number... :-)

Oddly, it seems to use a different way of triggering it than the OneBox results for tracking packages.

I've just had a package number sent in an email to me, and i didn't get a link! :(

it shows this because this number matches with a regular expression. Tracking DHL (and other) packages in Gmail exists since a while, I even use it 2 months ago > really accurate ;)

My favourite is "Map This"

Soooooooo Handy!

I know this isn't for Gmail but they don't list DHL here:

(Then again, it looks like they've stopped doing a couple of those anyway.)
