Gmail Bug
I’m using Gmail a lot more recently (more later), however I’ve found an annoying bug. I’m now forwarding all my messages to a non-Gmail account to Gmail. All of these are given a label to indicate that they came to that non-Gmail account. They are also optionally given additional labels depending on if they have certain subjects, recipients, or content. I want to be able to do a search for any messages that only have the initial label that indicates that this email came through my non-Gmail account. For instance, if I label all my bills as “bills” and all emails from my gas company as “gascompany”, then some emails may be labeled both “bills” and “gascompany”. However, when I do a search like [label:bills -label:gascompany], I sometimes will get messages that are labeled both “bills” and “gascompany”. For those that are showing up in my results (but shouldn’t be), I can manually give them the “gascompany” label (again) and they won’t show up in the results if I do the same search again. Here’s proof: 
It looks like the emails in the picture show up like they were sent by the origan sender instead of from the email account that is forwarding the how do you do that? that makes things alot nicer. sam

Well, I set it up on the backend (the mail servers), since I have access to them. Some mail clients have a “bounce” feature that allows you to do a similar thing. Unfortunately, pine is the only one that I know of that does that. Also, some webmail accounts (Gmail), allow you to setup email forwarding in the settings area. All these behave differently than the “hey I got this cool chain/hoax email, I’m going to forward this to everyone I know” type of forwarding.
