Affixa integrates webmail with Windows

Affixa
Affixa is a utility that can integrate your Gmail or Yahoo! Mail account with Windows.. First of all, once you install Affixa, you can set your webmail account as your default email service. That means when you use the "send" buttons in programs like Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, or Windows Explorer, Affixa can automatically open a browser window, create a blank message in Gmail or Yahoo! Mail and upload the files as attachments.

Affixa also supports "mailto" links. So when you click on an email link in any application, Affixa will populate a new webmail message with the correct address.

You can also right click on the Affixa icon in the Windows system tray to open an Affixa "basket" which lets you drag and drop files from your computer that you want to send as email attachments. If you're uploading pictures, Affixa will let you resize them before sending the email.

Another nifty feature is integrated drop.io support. If you're sending large files or a large number of files you can upload them to drop.io and Affixa will add a link to the drop point to your email instead of sending the items as file attachments.

Affixa is available as a free download. Or you can pay $3 a month year to get advanced features like support for multiple accounts or the ability to choose which browser you want to use, add signatures to your email messages, or zip files from the attachment basket.

You can check out a demo video of Affixa in action after the break.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
