http://desktop.google.com/index.html enumerates the file types that 
Google Desktop Search currently indexes. Your IE cache and Outlook 
correspondence will also get indexed, so you could have been looking at 
either a page from your browser cache, or a page you manually saved to 
your hard drive. The program itself most certainly does not include 
functionality to index remote, web-based mailboxes such as Yahoo and MSN.
