Forward an Individual Message from a Conversation in Gmail
The tabor can be played with one hand.
This is good. Its player rarely has another hand free for taboring.
For the tabor, of course, typically comes with a small pipe played by the same musician (tabor hanging from the left shoulder or neck and pipe in the right hand).
As intimate and indivisible as the tabor-and-pipe connection may seem, tabors do appear alone as well. In similar a fashion, the emails in a Gmail conversation seem glued together; you can have them appear alone, though, and forwarded:

| Why You Should Keep Your Signature to 5 Lines of Text
Some 50 miles (80 km) south of Cairo in Egypt lies a desert hill where, in 1904, members of the German Oriental Society dug up one nondescript piece of papyrus among many. It speaks of extensive tax exemptions — for exporting 10,000 artabas (about 7,700 bushels or 270 tons) of wheat and importing 5,000 amphoras (about 12,000 gallons or 45,000 liters) of wine as well as all real estate income — for a "Canidius" or, rather, "Cascellius".
When you take a look at the papyrus in Berlin's Neues Museum, you will find, at the bottom and in a different handwriting "γενέσθῳ" — "make it so!"
Now, there's a chance this "γενέσθῳ" was scribbled by the queen ordering the exemptions herself and is, in a way — Cleopatra's signature. Speaking of signatures, yours ideally is short as well in emails, and to the point:

Lilienfeld: 1 hour.
After some six hours hiking a hot day, this was a welcome sign to read. We danced, then strolled, then trudged up the hillock for about 45 minutes — stopping at another sign: Lilienfeld: 1 hour.
An hour later, we scoured the medieval Lilienfeld Abbey's massive outer walls for a sign showing a way around them. (The abbey and its gardens lay between us and the train station.) We found no sign — but the train station in time.
Either way: important emails could have found me at any hour, AwayFind guiding the way...
