Arthur, I like the idea of seeing the list of messages while viewing one. I've been using Gmail for so long that I've gotten used to it...BUT, I still like the Outlook/Thunderbird list view with message view. One thing that I wish the labs would come up with is a way to change the default notification sound for Google Chat messages. It's so faint I often miss it. I'd like to see a way to change that sound...and its volume. You haven't seen anything like that, have you? -- Regards, Steve Erbach Neenah, WI On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 4:37 AM, Arthur Fuller <fuller.artful at gmail.com> wrote: > For users of Gmail, I just received a mail describing how to enable various > Google Labs, about which I previously knew nothing.
