How to Use Drafts as Message Templates in Yahoo! Mail

"Beat them together and strain them all," says the recipe, "into a posnet [a skillet or small pot] setting upon the fire and stirring it." After dealing with the egg yolks in that manner and letting them hang in a kitchen cloth, you're ready to add rosewater and sugar to taste for yellow buttered eggs.
The recipe from 1596 works for white butter — using the egg whites in place of the yolks — just as fine.
Speaking of recipes, let's see if email drafts work as templates just as fine, adding sugar and roses here and there for individual flavor:

How to Insert Text Snippets Fast with Shortcuts in Mac OS X Mail

Take your legs off the ground, and you'll be faster.
In the 1860, odd wooden running machines invented some 20 years earlier were all the rage in France and Germany. These bicycles, equipped with pedals to turn the front wheel, allowed riders to take their feet off the ground — and move much faster.
Appropriately, the pedal bicycle was called velocipede, literally "speedy-foot". Now, how about a velocimane, Mac OS X Mail "speedy-hand"?
Take your hands off the keyboard earlier, and you'll be faster:

Windows Live Mail 2011 15.4 - Send Photos Better, View Emails Threaded

Windows Live Mail - Free Email ProgramWindows Live Mail, the Outlook Express for Windows Vista and 7, has been updated alongside its companion Live products. The new Live Mail not only makes it easy to share photos — even big ones in gobs —, it will automatically create a gallery, too, or let you add frames and remove color.
Windows Live Mail now is a tad more like Outlook, too: a ribbon replaces the menu and a sidebar puts your calendar right next to your mail (but affords no additional interaction).
›› Windows Live Mail is a comfortable email program that lets you access IMAP, POP and Windows Live Hotmail accounts with verve and ambition to connect with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Calendar, your blog and RSS news feeds, too. (Windows)

To wait less for a longed-for podcast episode, you can chase the other downloads with their Pause buttons, of course, and resume transmissions in the coveted order.
Or you move the mouse around the screen a bit, holding down its button now and then — to drag and drop the downloads in the order you prefer.
Speaking of re-ordering:

It's fairly obvious where the Amazon river ends. Where, though, does it begin?
Locating a river's most distant source is an exciting adventure that, with countless streams spread over remote Andean glaciers to consider, can last for centuries. Recently, a glacial stream flowing off Nevado Mismi, a mountain some 5,500 meter (18,400 foot) high in southern Peru, has been established as the Amazon's origin.
Of course, not only rivers have origins and sources. Emails, for example, have sources that are fairly easy to uncover — and the data found there can even lead you to the email's origin:
›› Look behind an email's pretty face and see its source in Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail or Outlook Express. You can even view a message's source without opening the message itself.


How to Use Rich HTML Formatting in Emails with Opera

A club of Florentine men read, discussed, and reached a far-reaching conclusion: the ancient Greeks did not speak their drama; they sang it.
Aiming to recreate that emotional experience and rejecting the word-painting musical style of its day, the Florentine Camerata invented the recitative — and opera.
Now, how about singing your emails while you send them and adding some formatting, too, for, say, the emotional experience — in Opera?
›› Want to add some formatting to your email's text or call forth a special font for effect perhaps? Here's how to use rich HTML formatting for an email in Opera and make it the default, too.
