Wowed by email!

When's the last time your email program made you say "holy crap!  That's impressive!".  (Or a less crass variant of same).  Well, Gmail just did that to me.  I wrote "I have attached" in my email, and didn't Gmail come back and say "you said you've attached... but you didn't attach a file, do you want to attach a file now?".  That's almost admin-assistant like material.  I was very impressed.  And I'm not easily impressed.  Especially by something as mundane as email.  Now I don't care enough about my email client to dig into the pros / cons of each system.  But then again, I've never cared enough about my email client to blog about it either.  Gmail might look as bland as a Goth chick with no eyeliner on the surface, but there's lots to like about Gmail, both on the surface as well as under the hood.
