Official Gmail Blog: New ways to label with "Move to" and auto-complete

"Instead of having to first apply the label and then archive, you can just use the 'Move to' button to label and archive in a single step -- just like you would with a folder. If you just want to add or remove a label, use the new 'Labels' button. Auto-complete works, so for those of you with a lot of labels, you can select the one you want just by typing the first couple characters."

FINALLY!

I suggested this a billion years ago.

Now the retards fine people I've talked into trying gmail can stop complaining about this "mysterious label concept".

For us REAL programmers it made sense all along.
