thought it was a pun.

Does your fancy Gmail not include a spell check feature?
Even mail.msu.edu has
that.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Let's break this
down
Apparently I've caused a bit of tempest in the
teapot. I'lve had one jackass hang up on me and another threaten
me. Wow! We alll need less drama.
So let's all simmer down, myself included.
Here are the points I was trying to make:
1. MSU has made an intitutional statement that
students and staff must use mail.msu.edu to
receive official e-mail.
2. MSU's official central e-mail system is mail.msu.edu.
3.Most people use Gmail or another provider for their
e-mail. If most of the MSU community doesn't use mail.msu.edu, then therefore they need an
obvious way to auto-forward.
4. Mail.msu.edu
hides the auto forward function. The expected options are along a ribbon bar as
one would expect. The most important option on mail.msu.edu is hidden under an obscure label of
"MSU Prefs."
So let's make this clear: the leading land grand
university hides how to receive communications from the institution. This
is not optimal.
Folks, I've mostly laid under radio silence for a
year. I will now go back into silence. Googbye and good luck.
