Gmail guessing your keyboard and text

I haven't noticed the keyboard layout switcher yet. How come it automatically contains exactly the three layouts which are relevant for me? I've found out earlier that both Search and Translate can correct your input if it makes more sense in some other popular layout, like Russian. What else is there under their sleeves?

Google Apps Script for SMS notifications and more

I've recently learned that the Google platform enables you to connect various services via server side ECMAScript . I've encountered a nice example which sends out a notification for each e-mail that your filters tag as urgent. I've altered a lot of its functionalities, and now it supports the following: Concatenates the subject and the body Jams the first 60 characters in the title, the next 63 characters in the location Preprocess automated mails to only keep the most important fields (RegExp does wonders) Extract and aggregate various daily indices of interest (UrlFetchApp is also nice) As an exception to my usual philosophy, I will have to give second thought if I should be sharing these enhancements or not this time.
