Allow me to further nitpick on the tags. It'd be better to just use Glance as
tag for these emails and make Glare just part of the rest of the subject. This
disctinction is important as these tags are used to filter emails and Glare is
not really an independent project but part of Glance.

(sorry for the nitpick but I thought I'd take this chance to share it)
Keep it up, folks.
