Mail ordering

Filed under: — adam @ 2:42 pm

Jeremy Zawodny asks “is your inbox a stack or a queue”?

I’d have to say it’s a loosely linked queue with some arbitrary graph functionality. I use mutt for the majority of my mail, with the newest messages at the bottom. More importantly, I use mutt’s threaded viewing, which I’ve illustrated with an example of why this is important here.

Filed under: — adam @ 11:58 am

I felt sad for the loss of the Mr. Blue column, and I was initially not happy with Cary Tennis as a replacement. But he’s grown on me.

Filed under: — adam @ 11:50 am

Highly recommended.

Misaddressed emails from the Bush campaign

Filed under: — adam @ 10:19 am

I find it incredibly ironic that, yet again, Republicans don’t understand the difference between corporate and non-profit.

Them internets is confusing.
