[SATLUG] 4 Gmail invites

[Mike Duncan]

It took me awhile to get used to that, but I find it to be very useful. 
I have Gmail set to auto-label my mailing lists and some of them fit 
into the multiple-label category. It's nice to be able to just choose a 
label to view on the left side and everything without that label 
disappears. It was, however, very annoying at first getting used to it.. 
especially coming from folder-driven clients like OE, Thunderbird (which 
still I use for my personal addy because of the wonderful spam filter) 
and Evolution.
