Today, while we Americans pushed our broken down van to the American border (in Mexico)…

I realized the Mexicans have pioneered an innovative shopping experience… drive-through shopping!

GMAIL: suggested improvement
Monday April 28th 2008, 11:51 am

Filed under: internet, thoughts

When emailing, I often need to reference information from messages either sent or received, and currently gmail requires me to save a draft of the message I’m writing, and then search for the email I need to reference and then open the draft again, and there is no way I know of to toggle between one or two or more messages easily, so sometimes I have to save a draft again and repeat this process a couple times. An easy fix for this would be to have tabs, so I can easily search for and select emails I need to reference, and toggle between different emails, while writing an email.

[update: it’s been ages since I’ve used Outlook - doesn’t it have this ability? Yahoo Mail does.]

Does anybody else share this frustration?

this is cool on several fronts, and much better than simply sending a youtube link.

Good luck Adam!
