I know they know where you've gone on the web and send you ads that way, but do they actually read the insides of your emails?

You'll benefit from two extensions if you use Chrome:
Ghostery:
http://www.ghostery.com/
AdBlock:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...namgkkbiglidom
The first blocks trackers that follow you from site to site and analyze your interests. The second flat out blocks ads, including those in Gmail. Google will still know what you're writing--their alogorithms run on their servers, where your e-mail sits--but you won't have to deal with the ads.
