Satoshi Mail updates

Switch between Satoshi's addresses

Click the address at the top right to switch between the three Satoshi used: satoshi@anonymousspeech.com, satoshi@vistomail.com and satoshin@gmx.com. The footer's “Last account activity” follows along. It's just for fun; the archive stays the same.
The select-all checkbox, row checkboxes and “Add star” for selections are gone. Star any conversation with its own star.

Every Satoshipedia article now ends with its primary sources: the messages and commits it draws on, linked in Satoshi Mail and where they were first published.
Articles now say who publishes them and how they're written, when they were last updated, and where to send corrections.
Four articles that cited only Wikipedia now also cite the court judgment or the Bitcoin blockchain itself.
The About page explains why Satoshi Mail exists and how it's made, and gives an email address for contact and corrections.
The inbox is now clearly labelled as an archive presented as Satoshi's inbox.

Satoshi Mail now looks the way Gmail did in 2008: the light-blue frame, text links instead of icons, “Compose Mail”, blue-grey rows and grey buttons.
A link bar along the top replaces the app dock, with “satoshin@gmx.com | Settings | Help | Sign out” on the right.
A Web Clip above the inbox shows a real Satoshi quote, with arrows to read more.
Quick Contacts lists his correspondents with status lines, like Hal Finney's “Running bitcoin”.
The footer shows Satoshi's last account activity, 26 April 2011, and links to the basic HTML view.

Archive, read and unread, and Refresh have been removed: Satoshi Mail is a reading archive, so every conversation now always stays where it belongs.
Anything archived or marked read in your browser before is back in place. Stars still work.

Every email, forum post and commit now has a fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash of its exact contents), and each version of the archive's list of fingerprints is timestamped in the Bitcoin blockchain with OpenTimestamps.
Open any message's details and choose “Verify this message”: your browser recomputes its fingerprint and shows the Bitcoin block proving it hasn't changed since.
The new Verify page lets you check your whole copy of the archive at once and download the proofs to check them yourself on opentimestamps.org.

Satoshi Mail's envelope logo now comes in every size Google, browsers and phones look for, so search results can show it instead of a grey globe once Google recrawls the site.
Add Satoshi Mail to your phone's home screen and it gets the logo too.

The About page now lists the license and terms of everything in the archive: MIT for the code, CC BY-SA 4.0 for Satoshipedia, and each source's own terms for the messages.
Google's dataset listing for Satoshi Mail now links to those terms.

Connections: zoom and pan the chart (scroll, pinch, drag or the + and − buttons); names stay readable and more appear as you zoom in.
Find anyone with the new “Find a person” box; picking someone zooms to them.
A bigger month slider with year marks and milestone dots you can jump to, and a compact key on the chart.
Timeline: one big chart with numbered milestone pins. Select any month to see what Satoshi wrote then, with links to every message and commit.
Arrow keys step through months, and Escape steps back out one level at a time.
