tweetymail provides a number of easy ways to receive tweets in your email. One of the most popular features is the ability to request an email with the latest tweets from the users you follow on Twitter (i.e your timeline): just send an email to latest@tweetymail.com. The nice thing about this feature is that you can choose exactly how many tweets you want to receive by putting a number in the body of your email. But wouldn't it be nicer if you could sometimes ask tweetymail to just send you the tweets that are new? Now you can!

Send an email to latest@tweetymail.com with an empty email body (in other words -  don't specify the number of tweets you want) and tweetymail will respond with up to 200 tweets that are new since your previous request to latest@tweetymail.com! It's exactly like refreshing on the Twitter home page or refreshing your timeline in another Twitter app. As you've probably realized, this enhancement replaces the behavior of defaulting to twenty tweets when you leave the email body empty. This new enhancement is only for FULL and MAX access users. FREE access users will continue to receive a default of twenty tweets when leaving the email body empty (upgrade your account).

Apart from this enhancement, latest@tweetymail.com still works the way it always has. If you want to receive a specific number of tweets (even if you have already seen them), you can still specify the number of tweets you want in the email body. If you want to receive tweets from a specific user, instead of all of the users you follow, you can still put that user's Twitter username in the subject line. Also, this enhancement does not affect automatic email alerts in any way.

One last thing to understand: tweetymail will keep track of the tweets you have already seen based on the subject line of your emails to latest@tweetymail.com. Therefore, you can independently "refresh the timelines" of multiple users by sending emails to latest@tweetymail.com with the appropriate username in the subject line and leaving the email body empty.

We've updated the user guide with this enhancement but feel free to ask questions and post your comments below!
