Gmail Tweaks

What a lot of people, including myself, sometimes forget is that you can add a lot of extra neat features through “Google/GMail Labs”. Tonight I’ve enabled:

• signature tweaks; Places your signature before the quoted text in a reply, and removes the “–” line that appears before signatures.

• Right-side labels; Move the labels box to the right side of the inbox.

• Canned Responses; Email for the truly lazy. Save and then send your common messages using a button next to the compose form. Also automatically send emails using filters.

• Quote selected text; Quote the text you have selected when you reply to a message. (Now works with the mouse, too!)

• Forgotten Attachment Detector; Prevents you from accidentally sending messages without the relevant attachments. Prompts you if you mention attaching a file, but forgot to do so.

• Offline; Make Gmail go where the Internet doesn’t. Access your inbox through your browser and use Gmail’s familiar features when you’re offline. To get started, enable this lab and then click on the “Offline” link in the upper-right of your inbox.

• Mark as Read Button; Tired of spending all that effort to click on the more actions menu every time you want to mark messages as read without reading them? Now just enable this lab and that is just a button click away!

• Undo Send; Oops, hit “Send” too soon? Stop messages from being sent for a few seconds after hitting the send button.
