30 in 30: Day 15 - Gmail: Customize with Style & Conversation View

Day 15 in the 30 in 30 series is the final day in the week of Gmail.  Today we are going to take a look at changing the default text for the body of a composed email and also a feature that I just can't live without.....Conversation View.  Both are accessed from the same place inside of Gmail.  Click on the Settings gear in the upper right hand corner of the screen and choose settings.  The style feature will allow you to change the way the text looks in the body of an email.  It's also pretty simple if you want to get it back to the default look.  More importantly is the use of conversation view.  By toggling conversation view on or off, you can choose how email replies are returned to you.  This is especially useful if you are emailing multiple people at the same time.  Do you want each of the responses to be returned as a separate email or do you want them all to be housed inside of a single thread?  No right or wrong answer, just how you want it to look.  And the nice thing, is that you can toggle back and forth without having to loose any features if you don't like the way it looks.  It will separate or group your conversations back to how you like them.  Looking for the video on how to get this done, you will find it here.
