If I use a web mail or forum application, like HotMail, Slashdot, Yahoo Groups, or Virgin Webmail, will Phorm be able to see/use the contents of the emails/messages I read?

No, we don't analyse the content of webmail sites.

What about the other messages though?
Selective answers and half answers seem to be the norm for all things related to Phorm.
One of the things I have noticed people doing (and tried to avoid myself - unsuccessfully) is leaving questions open, or asking more than one thing in a question as it provides a nice way for them to answer the bit they want to answer whilst avoiding the banana skin.
Of course there are times when they just don't answer the question at all. Again from the chat

who are the advertisers that work with Phorm?
KentErtugrul
Advertisers generally have applauded the introduction of Phorm, which transforms their ability to only show ads to people who are interested in their products, thereby making their marketing budgets much more effective

It looks like a BTs "Ask Emma" response - you mentioned advertisers, so I'll give you my answer regarding advertisers irrespective of the question.
I'm sure we could all find a thousand more examples of similar things in our communications or on web-sites, and I think we should be more careful when we are asking questions. It's so easy to run off at the mouth and try and get everything in .
