Save iOS Email Messages in Other Apps as Emails, Not PDFs

Mail apps on iOS have come a long way over the past couple of years. I still don’t have a single mail app on iOS that serves my needs, though.

This will make it possible to take out even larger databases and leave the lion’s share of the data up to Dropbox or your WebDAV service.

I was pretty happy to see today’s news that the developer of DEVONthink has started a Beta test of version 2 of DEVONthink To Go, which includes new sync technology that will also be used on the Mac app. Some highlights:

The Beauty of DEVONthink OCR

I’ve covered DEVONthink heavily recently. That’s because it has been an invaluable tool and a huge time saver for me over the last few months. The latest trick I discovered has been DEVONthink’s ability to easily replace non-searchable PDF’s with searchable (OCR’d) versions of the same document. It’s pretty simple, actually.
