Well, based on the sheer number of, "I don't know if my post went 
through," e-mails we see on this list, I'm guessing you're the exception 
and not the rule.

And here I'm doing threaded *e-mail* (without gmail).

I'll make a note to change MythTV to never show any recordings in Watch 
Recordings until you have a 2nd recording with the same title...  Or 
maybe I should have it hide any recordings in Watch Recordings until you 
watch at least one recording with that title--obviously, if you've never 
watched a show by that title, you don't care to see it, right?  After 
all, hiding things from the user must be the right way to do things.  ;)

Anyway, sorry for the OT, but I'm a firm believer that the principle of 
least surprise is a good approach to UI/UX development.  And, based on 
my interaction with gmail users, including in this thread (and my own 
dalliance with gmail), it seems that gmail isn't--it's more of a "our 
way or you're wrong" approach.  That said, they do have a lot of nice 
things they've added to their client--including their labels, which will 
be very similar to a tagging feature I'm working on for MythTV.
