How To Add Multiple Inline Images into Gmail
Update: 11-May-2010 Google Mail now supports drag-and-drop of images into the message body if using Gmail in the Google Chrome browser.
Sadly, I was not able to copy-and-paste images into the message body.
Gmail doesn't support inline images in the message body of an email directly. To add them you need to turn on a Lab Setting called Inserting Images. Even then, you cannot copy and paste multiple images or text and images in a single paste (if you can, please tell me how). Each image needs to be inserted one at a time. If there are a lot of images, like in this step-by-step, your need patience and time.
This has been sent by Gmail to Posterous with ((nogallery)) tag in Subject line of the email.
01. In Gmail: Click Settings
How To Create and Use a Draft Template in Mail on a Mac
I wrote this note on how to create a Template in the Desktop version of Mail on a Mac at the beginning of 2007 but it still seems valid. In fact, it is also relevant to using Mail on the iPhone. Currently, I notice that if I create a draft on the Desktop version of Mail, the Draft is *not* shared via MobileMe to the web nor the iPhone versions of Mail; even though the 'Store draft messages on the server' is checked in Mail Preferences. Drafts created in either web Mail or iPhone Mail *are* synced and available to both these versions of Mail. One way to get a Desktop Draft onto the iPhone (or the web) is to move the Draft to a Mailbox folder then copy the text from the synced email in the Mailbox on the iPhone but it shouldn't be necessary.
Create a draft or template Mail message
• Open Mail, Click New button (File > New Message)
• Create the template contents in a new email message.
• Click Save As Draft button (File > Save as Draft)
• If desired: Move the draft message to a different mailbox folder e.g. a new one named Templates. (see note 2 and 3)
Speeding up Safari in Snow Leopard - My Work-Around
Safari in Snow Leopard frequently stalls with the 'Spinning Pizza' cursor and 'hang' what seems an age before it starts to load a page. This rapidly gets infuriating. One way I have found to improve things is to specify the DNS servers in the System Preferences Network settings.
I have a BT HomeHub wireless router. By Default the System Preferences Network settings look to the router to get the DNS servers. The following step-by-step method gives the servers specified in the router directly to System Preferences Network settings. I don't know if BT changes these from time to time but if I delete the numbers I added, Network settings defaults back to looking to the router for the DNS server addresses.
Note: To do this I needed to use Firefox. Safari does not work with the Advanced settings of BT HomeHub.
01. In Firefox: Go to the URL bthomehub.home
You may need to load in with admin and the correct password.
