Wow, Gmail has worked hard to stay my best friend when it comes to email. If you do any kind of safelist marketing you’re probably using it for all of your safelist emails since they tend to have the highest deliverability.
They are currently deploying Gmail Labs to all Gmail accounts. In the past when you wanted to add features or change stock settings (aside from what Google allowed you to) you had to install GreaseMonkey scripts.
For a while GreaseMonkey scripts were great but they aren’t always updated (to keep up with Google’s changes) so they will stop working altogether. I know this happened with a lot of my favorite Monkey scripts
To access the new Gmail Labs you need to click on Settings and look for LABS on the far right.
Signature tweaks by Keith C and Dave C - MY FAVORITE
Places your signature before the quoted text in a reply, and removes the “–” line that appears before signatures. Can’t use this and the “Random signature” Labs feature at the same time.
Superstars by Kai H & Julie W
Adds additional star icons. After enabling this feature, you can choose which icons you wish to use in the “General” Settings page.
Fixed width font by Keith C
Adds an option to the reply dropdown menu that lets you view a message in fixed width font.
Custom keyboard shortcuts by Alan S
Lets you customize keyboard shortcut mappings. Adds a new Settings tab from which you can remap keys to various actions.
Mouse gestures by Erik A
Use your mouse to navigate with gestures. Hold right-click and move the mouse left to go to a previous conversation, move it right to go to the next conversation, and move up to go back to the inbox view. Works best on Windows.
Random signature by Chad P
Rotates among random quotations for your email signature. Can’t use this and the “Signature tweaks” Labs feature at the same time.
Custom date formats by Emil E
Adds options to the general settings page allowing the date and time format to be changed independent of language. For example, you can use a 24-hour clock (14:57) or show dates with the day first (31/12/07).
