Turn an Email into a Google Doc
Sunday, December 21, 2008
Google just published a new and very useful lab feature: Turn an email conversation into a Google doc:

So I built an experimental feature for Gmail Labs that does just that: with one simple click, "Create a document" converts an email into a Google Docs document. No more copying and pasting the text from your email -- just open the message you wish to convert, click the "Create a document" link on the right side of the page, and voila, you have a brand new document which you can then modify and share!
There is even a keyboard shortcut for this new feature: g + w

This feature only works on gmail? I can remember more than one situation in which I really needed to take some information from an email and paste it into a notepad file and I have to say that it can be annoying if you have to do it over and over again. The feature looks great, I will try it right now. Thank you!
