Sparrow 1.2 - Avatars in Your Universal Inbox

Sparrow - Mac Email ProgramWanted to delete and found Sparrow archived instead? Sparrow 1.2 now lets you set up the "Delete" key to delete — or archive, of course.

How to Read Emails in Threads with iPhone Mail

"Oh, somebody's spilling sugar from their shopping cart..."
Victor follows the sweet white sticky trace. Somebody ought to let the spiller know about their spilling, after all!
Victor follows the trace, going faster and faster to catch up. Victor follows the trace, which gets thicker and thicker. Victor follows the trace, going round and round the supermarket until something dawns on him.
"Oh, I'm the one spilling sugar from their shopping cart," Victor thinks, and there's no way to think or say that, says John Perry, without using I.
Now, let's have iPhone Mail follow another sweet trace — that of emails' threads leading to other messages in the same conversation and, sometimes, quoted parts of themselves:
