New gmail iGoogle gadget bugged!

I use iGoogle as a starting home page and gmail as the email app and hosting even for this domain because it has the option to always report a different (after authentication) address as sender. So I’m used to using a gmail gadget on the iGoogle homepage.

If you use the new (and crappy) version of the gmail gadget, it doesn’t respect the reply-to option. It’s a big bug and this evening I sent an important email with the wrong domain. :(

Update: It’s not the only option not respected. It shows previews of contents even if you disabled it (I take for granted another lamenting post). And sometimes even after you un-maximize the crap, it gets maximized again at the page reload.

It seems to be the period of crappy redesigns. Let’s add iGoogle+gmail to the new last.fm, the new Facebook and Office 2007.

Update-2: It’s bugfest! the gadget is written in Javascript and stuff and doesn’t respect the browser back button. Nor the middle-click to open in a new tab. Just, WOW! :(

Update-3: They fixed it!
