the daily good thing about dreamwidth:

reply to comments right from email (if your email client supports it).

ETA: ha. this also works on LJ, IF one has HTML emails turned on. which i never did.

Wait, what? *runs off to try it*

reply to comments right from email

[piranha]

totally works in gmail. i can't think of having seen this listed anywhere, and it doesn't work on LJ for me.

reply to comments right from email

[piranha]

i just found out in channel that this actually works on LJ as well, and depends on having html emails turned on. *duh*. i never turn html emails on, except on DW i did it on to see whether there are problems.

Wow, I've never seen those before. Those are now my second favorite flower (fuchsias being the first). (Hm, well, I have to fit proteas in there somewhere, too. Maybe my third favorite.)

Oops hadn't seen that someone already answered:)

[ladyvox]

It does mean that, but is also used as "edited to add" :)

I used to use this on livejournal as well, but once I swapped from MS Outlook as my e-mail client to Thunderbird it stopped working. At first I really missed it, but by now I guess I got used to clicking the reply link and responding on the website again.
I used gmail for receiving my comments and replies for a while, as I noticed that reply-from-email did work there - but I couldn't get used to how all comments got threaded into one huge list there back then so..

comment threading

[piranha]

yes, the way gmail mishandles mail really ticks me off. i am about to write a very form yet nice, polite email to ask them to look into it. i expect of course nothing, since they're not terribly responsive, but at least i will have done it.

this is, btw, why i always give subjects to my comments -- that way it will thread properly in any email client that threads by subject.

Re: comment threading

[ladyvox]

That's smart thinking, bout the subjects! I am too lazy (or too un-inspired) to do so I guess ;-)

I read something on DW that they were looking into comment threading for gmail as well.. I think. I have no idea /where/ I read that tho - if I by accident run into it again I'll let ya know!

Re: comment threading

[piranha]

yeah, we discussed it in the IRC channel as well, so something will be done about it -- personally i like prefilling the subject. we'll see. it won't be done right now, but quite possibly during open beta, since it annoys a lot of people.

Re: comment threading

[aquaeri]

Prefilling the subject makes a lot of sense. It's not like people fix even deliberately changed subjects that are no longer descriptive, anyway. And in the long run it might encourage people to choose better titles for their posts.

(What happens in gmail threading if one posts several times with the same title and gets comments with autofill subjects? Or is that caveat posteor? (my latin sucks)).

That's gorgeous! (I love all the pictures you post, but this is the first one I've had to comment on. :) ) Thanks!
