Upgrade to Gee-mail!

Let's face it, Gmail (or Google Mail as it's legally obliged to be named in Britain and Germany) is marvellous.

And it just keeps on getting better.

Case in point, I was reading just now about some recent improvements - the "Vacation Responder" automated reply, Gmail Mobile access via http://m.gmail.com, and perhaps most importantly for bloggers, the option to display RSS feeds as "Web Clips" across the top of the interface.

However such new features sometimes seem to take their time trickling through to non-US users.

Slightly frustrating, until I realised that there is a way to force the changes in the meantime, at least when using my UK GoogleMail (presumably every country variation will behave similarly.)

Click on Settings, and within the "Google Mail display language" drop-down box towards the top of the General tab, select "English (US)".

And that's it - all of the new options are now available!
