Old dog...new trick

My wife taught me something about Gmail the other day. I probably knew it and just forgot, but I'll give her the credit anyway :-p

She was looking for an email conversation she had with a friend. I would've gone to the search box and typed in the person's name or email address hit return and sorted through the output that way -- that is what Google is famous for after all. She chose a different route. She clicked on the person's name in her contact list and had all of her conversations pop up at the bottom of the screen. I hadn't thought of that. Kind of a nice feature. Of course I could add more search terms if I'd done it my way... :-)
