That is a disaster and reason enough to "NOT USE IT".
Why use such a stupid piece of software ?
Sorry but for lots of other reasons I happen to love Gmail and have no
intention of changing it.
I don't think I suggested you change. Of course if it does not allow
changing the subject, ......... you should want to change, no questions
asked. How many have you compared it with ?
The fact that you have to click on a box to change the subject shows
that some idiot programmer was involved. That is totally unnecessary. One
click wasted.
Most mailers allow changing anything without telling it,
"Hey, I want to change the subject".
Many idiot programmer exist in the world today, and some work at
Microsoft. I suffer from this nearly every day.
I run into many people that tell me they are programmers.
I ask them, "Have you ever written a "keyboard handler".
If they say NO, I look them in the eye, and tell them,
You just think you are a programmer. If you have not written a keyboard
handler, you are not a programmer.
You might be amazed why I did it.
I have a 10,000 line program that feeds plants. It runs 24 hours per day,
months at a time.
My cat used to walk across the keyboard and stop the program.
What a disaster ?
So, I wrote a keyboard handler that interprets every single keystroke on
the keyboard, Including Alt/F1 thru Alt/f12 and like wise
Shift/F1 thru Shift /F12 and any other combination.
Then, I fixed the cat. Unless he can hit ALT/F10, he could not stop my
program from running. I don't think he ever managed to do it.
Of course I wrote a demo program that displayed all the Scan Codes that can
be made by the keyboard. All this is a ton of fun if you are a programming
nut.
I could combine data from 5 log files, embed them into a file, and my
program would spit out a web page, and automatically put this on my
website. This way, anywhere I was working in town, I could see what my
plants were doing.
Here is the web page, not made by a human. It is in fact the output of a
program I wrote.
http://www.fugitt.com/wfipnow.htm
This is a decent looking web page, with a lot of information contained therein.
As stated in the page, this was sent to my website every 5 minutes.
The page contained real time data from sensors connected to the control
system. It has lots of ability, up to 20,000 data collection points and
can communicate on two wires up to 4000 feet and beyond.
Take a look. You may then understand why I don't have much mercy on idiot
programmers that make you click on a button to
change the subject of a message.
They should know you will want to do that and make it automatic.
Just my two bits.
