+==Procedure for 1.1==
 Enabling rotation in email is trivial. Whenever you rotate the device, the system calls the orientationChanged function of the app. There's already one defined in email, but for some reason it does nothing. You can enable rotation by applying the following patches.

@@ Line 76: / Line 76: @@
 Curious item found in accounts-assitant.js. There seems to be an orientationString variable in the controller that is linked to some kind of hack if you type a specific string while having the account(folder) list open. Will investigate further.
-UPDATE: Seems that typing "RocknRollHax" (see ./app/controllers/accounts-assistant.js)  in the accounts list window will cause the email app to go into 'free' orientation mode. Looks like its an easier way to perform orientation changes instead of explicitly calling setWindowOrientation whenever the orientation changes.

 Alternate to RocknRollHax:  In accounts-assistant.js, change key word in line 106 to 'wide' or whatever you want.  Change string length in line 104 to num characters of your new key word. - xorg
