Google has added some more features to their GMail options. If you enable the settings you can now what a thumbnail preview of a YouTube video in your mail.

The video will open up within GMail and be streamed there. If your want to embed it though you still have to visit YouTube.

Next to that you can now also enable previews of pictures from Picasa and Flickr in your e-mail. When someone sends you a link to a Flickr-image it will be shown in your mail.

Finally Google added Yelp previews. These allow you to view ratings, phone numbers, and total number of reviews within your inbox.

To enable the new Labs features, just click on the green labs icon, enable the previews you want to start seeing in your Gmail, then click save.
