Yawn.... next please. Seriously, this made news?


by achowdhry September 16, 2008 7:08 PM PDT: This is a pretty big feature because it's artificial intelligence combined with enterprise functionality. For those of us who send a countless number of e-mails per day, this feature is crucial. Other e-mail developers should use this feature as a benchmark.; Like this

Yeah, it doesn't get any worse than that. Imagine the sheer horror of having to receive an email back stating that you forgot to add the attachment. And if that's not bad enough, having to resend the email with the attachment. I don't know about you, but I won't be able to show my face for months after such a mess up.; Like this Reply to this comment
