Welcome to the Oddblog, where we prattle on incessantly about bug fixes, feature additions and all things Oddpost. Click "comments" to add your two cents, unless those two cents are a bug report or feature request, in which case we kindly request that you email bugs@oddpost.com or features@oddpost.com. Finally, note that if there are no announcements on a given day, it does in fact mean we were out blowing your subscriber dollars on handcrafted doilies and pink champagne.

In our continued effort to be Good, Oddpost is now donating ten percent of your subscription fee to the non-profit of your choice, where "choice" is defined as a selection from one of seven organizations listed when you sign up. We believe the groups, which include Human Rights Watch, Doctors without Borders, Friends and Foundation of the San Francisco Public Library, National Resources Defense Council, Habitat for Humanity International, North Beach Citizens and America's Second Harvest, are already Good, and we want to do our part to help them, and perhaps become Good by association. The program is not retroactive, so if you've already signed up and are brimming with philanthropic fervor, well, you'll just have to wait until subscription renewal time.

Faster Oddpost, Load! Load! Is it not the pussycat's pajamas that message headers load approximately 300% faster than before?

When you send a message to somebody or somebodies who is or are not currently in your address book, we now do you the courtesy of inquiring as to whether you would like to add that somebody or somebodies to said address book. You are free to say no, and freer still to say yes. Do we demand that you immediately fill out a fax number and home address for that person? Nope, you don't even have to fill out a name for him or hers. You do that later, whenever you feel so moved, like during your Just a Cup of Hot Cocoa, Oddpost, and Me time.

Why in sam hill would anyone want to access their address book via the To:/Cc:/Bcc: buttons when they could just type the first few letters of any name or address and let auto-completion do its thing instead? Well why the hell would we even ask such a question? The people have spoken! It is not our place to doubt them! We have made it so!

Close your eyes and imagine, if you will, a feature that would allow you to group together several email addresses under a single alias...For example, you could create a list containing the addresses of all the people you love, name it "inner circle," and the next time you receive a FUNNY FUNNY JOKE, forward it to all those people simply by typing "inner circle" in the To: field! Now slowly open your eyes...cold reality. But wait, what's this? A glowing hearth to warm yourself by?! Oh yes. Select File->New->Distribution List, or type Ctrl-Shift-L, or open your address book and click on the shiny New Distribution List icon, and let the merriment begin.

Does anyone besides Tony Rosner care that message table column widths are now saved between sessions?

Remember that feeling you had when you first saw the video for Lionel Richie’s Hello? Well multiply that emotion by ten, because you can now access not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, but SIX external email accounts from within the happy shelter of Oddpost. Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, hold….and go to File->External Mail Accounts. [Bonus nerdliness: you can even check IMAP accounts!]
