One of the most requested features for Offline Gmail has been the ability to include attachments in messages composed while offline. Starting today, attachments work just the way you would expect them to whether you are online or offline (with the exception that when you're offline you won't be able to include inline images). Just add the attachment and send your message.
If you have Offline Gmail enabled, you'll notice that all your mail now goes through the outbox, regardless of whether you're online or offline. This allows Gmail to capture all attachments, even if you suddenly get disconnected from network. If you're online, your mail will quickly be sent along to its destination.
If you haven't tried offline access yet, visit the Labs tab and follow these instructions to get started:
1.Select Enable next to Offline Gmail.
2.Click Save Changes.
3.After your browser reloads, you'll see a new "Offline" link in the upper righthand corner of the Gmail page, next to your username.Click this link to start the offline set up process and download Gears if you don't already have it.

What happens to your email account after you die?
Melbourne, Nov 4 (ANI): Saving that parting e-mail from your first love in your inbox? Well, chances are, after you pass away, your spouse and the entire family will know about the long held secret.
This is because web email services like Hotmail and Gmail do not let users specify what should happen to their messages when they die.
In fact, email services owned by Internet giants like Google and Microsoft have a policy of keeping your data after you die and letting your next of kin or the executor of your estate access it.hese services can hold tens of thousands of messages.
Accounts with Google's Gmail can hold up to 7GB - or roughly 70,000 emails with a small to medium picture attached to each and they archive the messages you've written as well as received.
When it comes to deleting the data, Microsoft's Hotmail will remove an account if it is inactive for 270 days, while Gmail leaves the responsibility to the next of kin.
Of the top three providers, only Yahoo! refuses to supply emails to anyone after the user has died. The user's next of kin can ask for the account to be closed, but cannot gain access to it.
A Yahoo! spokesperson said the only exception to this rule would be if the user specified otherwise in their will.
Meanwhile, social-networking site Facebook has recently publicised a feature called memorialisation that lets the family of deceased users keep their profile page online as a virtual tribute.
MySpace, on the other hand, says it addresses the issue of family access to sensitive data on a "case by case basis".
A spokesperson for MySpace could not rule out letting a user's next of kin log into their profile - potentially giving them access to private messages. (ANI)

MBA Remains Strong, Despite Economic Meltdown
The number of applications to MBA Institutes this year has risen by a staggering amount. To put it simply, the increase is as sharp as 65%.
Given the high investment of both time and money that an MBA demands, the increase counter intuitive. Among various explanations, the one which seems most feasible is that professionals are looking at MBA as an opportunity for personal and professional growth. In an era where lay offs are commonplace, a 2 year stint in a good business school does seem like a good bet to outlast the recession and to rebound with great professional growth.
Another interesting trend is the dip in the number of Indians who have applied to US Business Schools for MBA Programs. This dip is accompanied by a spike in the number of applications by Indians to Business Schools in Canada & Europe. The change in preference is explained by an uncertain VISA scenario, coupled with the lack of financial assistance in the US. This is contrasted by a more welcoming outlook that Canada and European countries have (w.r.t. VISA) and better financial aid opportunities and most importantly, more affordable fees.
Whether it’s a good idea to enroll in a 2 year MBA or not, is a question that only time can answer. However, for the moment, it does seem like a really good bet!

WORLD FOREX: Euro Hits 2-Month High Vs Yen On Higher Stocks
TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- The euro rose to a more-than two-month high of Y137.83 in Asia on Friday as stronger regional share markets prompted hedge funds and other short-term players to buy the risk-sensitive unit.
If equities in Europe and the U.S. also rally later, the common currency could end the week even higher, possibly reaching a four-month high of Y139.00, dealers said.
The high-yielding, risk-sensitive Australian dollar also rose against the yen, breaking Y85.00 for the first time in more than a year. Demand grew for the resource-linked Aussie on the view that further rises in oil prices presaged more gains in the broader commodity market, dealers said. December crude futures rose 47 cents to $81.66 per barrel, nearing a one-year high at $82.00.
“The rise in commodities has encouraged many investors to seek riskier assets today, and that has lifted the euro and Australian dollar against the yen," said Shinichi Hayashi, a senior dealer at Shinkin Central Bank.
That trend could persist throughout the day if European economic data and U.S. corporate earnings later come in strong, said Minoru Shioiri, chief manager of foreign exchange trading at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities.
Encouraging data and earnings would likely buoy share prices, prompting market participants to try to push the euro up to a more-than four month high around Y139.00, Shioiri said. At 0450 GMT, the euro traded hands at Y137.66 compared with Y137.20 late Thursday in New York.
The German Ifo business sentiment index for October, due at 0800 GMT, may rise to 96.2 from 95.7 in September, according to a Dow Jones Newswires poll. Players will also be watching the 0830 GMT release of the U.K.'s July-September gross domestic product, tipped up 0.1% on quarter. That would be the first such rise since the first quarter of 2008, likely supporting share markets to the benefit of the euro as well as the British pound, dealers said.
Positive U.S. corporate earnings could have the same effect, with the spotlight on Microsoft Corp.’s release due at the start of New York trade, said Shinkin Central Bank’s Hayashi.
“U.S. earnings have been comparatively good, and if they continue to be so, higher stocks could support further euro rises against the dollar as well," Hayashi said. The common currency hit $1.5061 in the morning session, renewing a 14-month high, and could do so again by rising to $1.5100 later in the global day, he said. At 0450 GMT, the euro stood at $1.5036 compared with $1.5031 late Thursday in New York.
Elsewhere, the dollar was at Y91.57 from Y91.28, as a slight rise in long-term U.S. interest rates overnight buoyed the greenback. But heavy selling by Japanese exporters is likely to cap any further rises above Y92, said Mitsubishi UFJ Securities’ Shioiri.
The Dollar Index, a trade-weighted basket of six currencies, was at 75.07, unchanged from late Thursday in New York.
