For the record, we don't even need to rely on Gmail for that, seems that the Firefox browser has its own spell checker built in, which I find very handy!

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 <http://mail.msu.edu>mail.msu.edu to receive official e-mail.

2. MSU's official central e-mail system is <http://mail.msu.edu>mail.msu.edu.

3.Most people use Gmail or another provider for their e-mail.  If most of the MSU community doesn't use <http://mail.msu.edu>mail.msu.edu, then therefore they need an obvious way to auto-forward.

4. <http://Mail.msu.edu>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 <http://mail.msu.edu>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.
