Inside Mbeki’s inbox …

A confidential source working in the IT department in Parliament sent me this screengrab from President Thabo Mbeki’s inbox. Thought you might like to see it [click picture below to enlarge].

  4. Must just post a comment here – had lots of people ask me where I got this from. Sad, but true, I created it myself. Should have included my own name in the inbox somewhere to try and get some sort of web infamy, didn’t realise that anyone would really care.
    For those who are interested…here’s what I did:
    Took a screen grab from Outlook and, using Paint Shop Pro, deleted the email area. Then pasted in the “Mbeki” emails. Used Lucinda Sans Unicode as the font, size 9 for the mails and size 10 for the navigation on the left. Had to adjust the kerning to -19 and the leading to 0.06 to get the mails in line with the envelope icons. And that was that…dead easy actually. EVEN I could do it…
