What's very useful about all this swish emailing of pages and searching of emails is the way it helps me to create an information buffer. Here's an example of how I use the 'buffer':

1. shopping for a wedding gift
2. make purchase without signing up for an account
3. a receipt is given, with important order numbers in case of mishaps
4. I copy and paste all of that text and put it into a note in Backpack
5. one week goes by, no clear mishaps, don't think I need information any more
6. Backpack emails the entire page to my Gmail account
7. now that information is easily searchable
8. I don't have to worry about not having the number to hand
9. I can delete the entry in Backpack, making room for more stuff.

Simple, easy, effective.
