    How to enable autocorrect to fix multi-word US Holiday names?

    I don't know if this is possible, but I notice when I typed "labor day" in Day One and other editors, it does not suggest the correction "Labor Day".

    Feature Concept: Running Multiple Versions of Apple Mail (Per-Domain Separation)

    I’m a longtime Apple Mail user and honestly find it hard to replace — even compared to paid alternatives.
