Geoff Mulligan, the mastermind behind the killer app I wrote about a couple of days ago, saw my post and sent me some information that makes Hz even easier to use:

I've added a new feature so that you can "store" your commands in your address book. Previously if you want to check the weather you would send to hz@hz.com and put "weather 94306" in the subject. Now you can send to hzweather@hz.com and just put "94306" in the subject or, if you want to get the weather at that location often you can send to hzweather+94306@hz.com with nothing in the subject. You can now put those in your address book for future use.

You can do the same for next flights - send to hznextflight@hz.com and put "pdx sfo" in the subjct.

For stocks - send to hzquote@hz.com and put the stock symbols in the subject. if you always interested in certain stocks and don't want to type them in each time send to hzquote+sunw.ibm.aapl@hz.com.

All of the hz commands will work this way now!

Thanks, Geoff - great stuff!
