I don't file my email into folders, I have a computer to do that. They are good at that kind of thing you know... popfile.

So now my search is faster than yours because I can target a foldered subset of my emails without the overhead of moving emails to the right folder. Looks like I win.

I want a new image format.

I want alpha, I want CMYK or whatever colourspace. I want exif or whatever metadata.

It would just take a checkbox on the save dialog with some wording to encourage lossless where appropriate.

Britain also horrendous libel laws.

Given that warning letters without significant supporting evidence can be considered damaging to the reputation of an individual, it would seem appropriate that if you are on the receiving end of a warning letter, you should sue the sender for libel.

If this happens enough, then it might results in changes to one of the DEA laws or libel laws, so it would be a win win type deal.
