One great thing about Gmail

GoogleWeek is going very well, but there is one feature of Gmail that I just couldn’t wait to mention.

Here it is

When I reply to a message that I sent, Gmail is smart enough to address the reply to the original recipient(s) of the message — not to me.

In more detail

I frequently send email, and then reply to my own email as a way of following up on my original note. In Apple Mail (and every other email client I’ve used), the reply is addressed to me — which is not very useful. The kind folks at Google were smart enough to recognize this use case and make it work right. (And by “right” I mean “the way I want.”)

Bravo!
