Gmail Labs rolls out Message Sneak Peek and Nested Labels

1 Comment / News, Software / By /

Gmail Labs now has an insert image feature

Networking & Internet, Software / By /

Thank you, thank you Gmail Labs team. There is now a new Labs feature that lets you insert images directly into e-mails you compose within Gmail. While it’s not something I use that often, when I do, I spend waaaay too much time trying to get images inserted.

Don’t know about Gmail Labs? Oh, you’re missing out, but I warn you – don’t go clicking that tab right now unless you’ve got a few hours to spend exploring, oohing and aahing.
