Welcome to the Oddblog, where we prattle on incessantly about bug fixes, feature additions and all things Oddpost. Use the calendar to navigate to a particular day's news. Click on "comment" to tell us how it all makes you feel. And remember: if there are no announcements on a given day, it does in fact mean that we were out blowing your subscriber dollars on handcrafted doilies and pink champagne.

A few micro-glitches were recently fixed. You can now shift-tab from a message's body back to its subject. You can now hide the message pane, arrow down until some messages from the top scroll out of sight, then arrow up until they return, and not cause the entire menubar to disappear. You can now view an email's body in the message pane without screwed up scrollbars, even when that message is in HTML and contains absurdly long strings. You can now stop reading about minutiae.

Say...you can now select and copy text (message subject, From address, etc.) out of a message's header! We were going to play it cool and just pretend that this was always working, because, well, it's kind of embarrassing that it ever wasn't, but then we remembered what our therapists said about communication, and immediately sat down to compose this blog entry.

Did you know that in some developing third world cultures, it is still customary to list the day before the month, and display time based on a 24 hour clock? Much to somebody's chagrin, the Received column in the message table was ignoring this rather quaint little practice. And who are we, you may ask, to affect progress? Nobody, nobody at all. Our code now automatically senses your global position and displays the date and time according to local tradition.

It seems that Oddpost had an unintentional maximum limit of 113 folders (we're engineers, so we like these nice round numbers). Subscriber M, looking for adventure, added folder 114 and suffered the unfortunate consequences. Now, because of his sacrifice, you can add 114 folders in the cozy, comfortable knowledge that it hopefully might work. (Just kidding. It works. Really!)
