The Palm Pre auto-rotate feature is very useful, but I occasionally get one of those HTML emails that is too wide for the narrow screen. The email app doesn’t natively rotate into landscape, which would make it easier to read such email — that is, it didn’t rotate until this simple little hack was reported.
PreCentral points out that enabling landscape mode in the Pre email app is as simple as typing in:
RocknRollHax
This has to be done in the mailbox listing view (top level), and it’s not sticky. This means you need to do this every time you open the email app, so just leave it running in the background all the time. That’s what multi-tasking is for, anyway.
