If you are using www.Gmail.com, then here is a little new feature that will make your life much easier. The completely redesigned compose and reply experience at Gmail.com will allow you to easily send your mails or reply to your friends in a better way.

Faster Mail Compose in Gmail.com

The new compose pop up helps you to type your mails easily while giving you a chance to look at your Inbox in parallel. This makes it easy to reference any other emails without ever having to close your draft. You can even do a search or keep an eye on new mail as it comes in. And because the compose window works the same way as chats, you can write multiple messages at once and minimize a message to finish it later.

Also with this redesigned compose feature, when you add recipients to your message, you’ll see profile pictures of your contacts in autocomplete helping you find the right person faster. You can also drag and drop the new address chips between to:, cc: and bcc:. When you’re done adding recipients, the address area collapses automatically to get out of your way.

You will also see these same changes when you respond to a message. The reply experience has been designed to fit better inline as part of your conversation — replies take up much less vertical height, intelligently expand to fit your content, and always keep the recipients and other controls in view no matter how long your message gets.
