- New Thing Learned for 5 January: Another nifty OS X Mail trick is that it can think in smart mailboxes the same way iTunes does smart playlists. Useful to know now that I've ended up doing the newsletter for the knitting guild and need to round up the appropriate mails without having to screw around with a thousand separate filtering rules.
