Filling the G-Apps: Attaching an Gmail Email

Sending an email as an attachment isn't something that's not native to Google Apps but there are a couple of methods that can get the job done depending on what you're trying to achieve. A) To attach an unrelated message as an email file you can do the following: Open the email you would like to attach Open the menu on the right and select "Show Original" - (It will open a new window with the message in plain text) In your browser, select "Save As" and use the .eml extension. NB: This will create a message that all mail clients (Outlook, Live Mail, Thunderbird...) can open, and it will include all original headers. Then upload that .eml file as an attachment to the message you're sending. B)  Attach as a Google Drive HTML file: Open the email you would like to turn into an attachment.

Is your iPhone 4 Flaky & Possibly Out of Warranty?

When you work for a company that has iPhones as company phones you're bound to come across similar issues. By now you could have a number of iPhone 4's that are showing performance issues if you bought them around a year from their release date. I've had a few that have been taken back for screen repairs and battery issues so the majority of the iPhones I have don't match the original proof of purchase forms (they don't give you a new one when you get a replacement phone) and I have no way of knowing the life expectancy of the refurbished phones. You can check if an iPhone is still under warranty by the Apple website (https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do) using the hardware serial number that can be found under Settings > General > About. A replacement warranty lasts 90 days so it's a good idea to record when it will expire and set a reminder to check/test the phone a week beforehand.  An article you might find this article helpful
