To E. Harrison, regarding keeping group emails private:

1. Click 'Compose'
2. Click 'Bcc:' on the new message
3. In the Bcc: field, type the name of your mailing list.

You'll see all the addresses in the list appear in the Bcc: field.

How do you remove the feature where any sent mail is sent as a receipt to your inbox? This is really annoying. Thanks.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Not sure what you mean... are you getting something in your inbox after sending a message? If so, that's not a feature I've ever seen in Gmail.

I can't find how to edit incoming mail so I can change the subject line.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't think you can do that in Gmail. But you can forward a message to yourself and change the subject line.

I know what Tim is talking about and please help if someone knows how to fix it...every SINGLE time i send an email from my gmail i am then sent a "Return Receipt" from gmail in my inbox. The body of the Return Receipt email looks like this:

"This is a Return Receipt for the mail that you sent to billybob@where-ever.com.
Note: This Return Receipt only acknowledges that the message was displayed on the recipient's computer. There is no guarantee that the recipient has read or understood the message contents."

it is SUPER annoying, i one with every single reply, forward, or new message i write in gmail and i have been searching desperately to try and turn it off.
PLEASE HELP. it's the only thing i don't like about gmail.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Gmail does not have a Return Receipt feature. Do you have another email service that's tied to Gmail in any way?

I use Gmail all the time. I stumbled across this hints page and tried using the keyboard shortcuts. It does not specify to use CTRL or ALT. I tried both individually and combined but could not get the shortcuts to work. what am I doing wrong.

EDITOR'S NOTE: You're pressing CTRL and ALT! The Gmail keyboard shortcuts don't use any modifiers. Just press "c" for example, to compose a new message.

I´m a fan of Gmail.
I only wish it could have nested labels.

I want to forward only certain length emails to my cell from my gmail account. Is there a way to use the filter to forward only short emails (i.e., no more than 160 characters...the allowable length of a text message)?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't think there's a way to do that. But if you send a longer message to your cell, won't it just chop at 160 characters?

Does gmail email account has the Return Receipt feature. I find this feature very important and necessary to have, as i would be able to know whether the recipient has opened it or has not done so yet.
