Gmail – Deals with Handwriting and Large Files

Into and out of Gmail, new paths:
files, in particular, now not only travel as well-known attachments. Newly established connections to Google Drive make it easy to save files from emails you have received to Drive and add files (including 10-GB-big ones) from Google Drive to messages you send (albeit as links instead of as traditional attachments).
For text to go with the attachment (or, of course, to send tout seul), Gmail's input tools now include handwriting recognition for many languages (including French and English).

Footnotes to Plato: that's how Alfred North Whitehead famously characterized the European philosophical tradition. All the general themes and many great ideas already appear in Plato's dialogues.
Even though their writings may be footnotes and even though the Middle Ages' typical philosophical form was a comment on Aristotle (Plato's works were lost to the Europeans during that time), philosophers do not usually copy a Platonic dialogue and put their thoughts in literal footnotes, do they? Neither need you make your replies to emails appear as footnotes to the original text:
