On the Subject of New Releases
| Monday, August 27th, 2007 | --jr |
I want you to know that this wasn't the post I really wanted to do. Oh sure, the new dynamic mail is launched without the "beta" (and they're keeping the "classic" version around too), which is cool, except that it seems like every blog is talking about it like some giant bespectacled mutant trodding through your backyard.
Unfortunately, while I would rather tell you about something not quite as well covered (like the fact that you can now not only plan trips, but voyages and holidays as well), I've been informed that if I don't point out something cool that's been kinda overlooked about the new mail, I won't be allowed to sit with the popular kids at lunch.
So, here's something that a lot of folks haven't noticed yet. If you select a message, and then click on "Subject" (to sort by subject), the selected message stays visible at the top of the sorted list. That's kinda handy if you want to follow a discussion and don't want to just search for messages with that subject.
There. Done. Feel free to bask in the joy that is the new version of Y!Mail, and feel free to switch back and forth to the classic anytime you like.
