Yes, it's very useful.  My email client, Mulberry, has had it as an option for many years.

Thunderbird has similar heuristics.

Can be done with a client-side javascript check btw, so doesn't necessarily mean "google reads your emails" (though of course they do datamine heavily).

It'd be nice if they picked up the pace a little, I've been waiting on a 3MB attachment I sent myself for an hour now.
