Today I suggested the following feature to gmail at https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_suggest/
Whenever I search for a word or a phrase in my gmail account, only 20 results are displayed per page. This is very inconvenient when there are lots of results. I think it would be cool if there are options to display 20 results per page, 50 results per page, 100 results per page, all the search results in one page.

reporting emails from petsupermarket as spam to gmail
Whenever I post an email to debian-user@lists.debian.org , I get a spam email from AntiSpam UOL . This email looks something similar to
I cannot just mark this message with "report spam", since that will delete the whole thread. I wanted to save the whole thread for later reference, but at the same time I wanted to report this stupid email as spam. To do this, I discovered a work around which might work, if enough gmail users train their spam filter.
In this antispam UOL email, select the "More options" link (towards your right), then click on "Delete this message". The mail will still be there under the Trash label. Now go to the Trash, select this antispam UOL email, choose "Report as spam" under "More actions" menu. That's it.

gmail feature suggestions - 2
Today I suggested the following feature to gmail at https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_suggest/
Currently gmail either shows all the labels or does not show any labels. But there is no way to tell gmail to display 'only the labels with unread emails in them'. If there are lot of labels in one's gmail account, it becomes difficult to see where the unread messages are. In such case, I think this feature would be very handy.

gmail feature suggestions - 1
Today I suggested the following feature to gmail at https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_suggest/
Currently it is not possible to search for emails across different labels. This would be a cool feature to have.
Let me explain it more clearly.
Say I have 10 labels in my email account. Let these be named as label1, label2, label3, ... label10. Now I would like to search for emails which are under label4, label7, label9. Currently this is not possible. But IMHO is a very useful feature to have.

How to generate thumbnails
To create thumbnails use the -thumbnail option of the convert command. This option preserves the aspect ratio of the picture. So you need to specify just the width or height of your thumbnail.
Sample commands look like
convert -thumbnail 160 original.jpg thumbnail.jpg
convert -thumbnail x160 original.jpg thumbnail.jpg
The first one creates the thumbnail whose width is 160 pixels. The second one creates a thumbnail whose height is 160 pixels.

On Debian GNU/Linux machines, convert command is part of imagemagick package. You can install the imagemagick package using apt-get
apt-get install imagemagick
Feedback, comments, suggestions are most welcome and can be left in the comments field of this blog.
