Are there any plans to expand the options in the equation editor?  It does not contain nearly enough symbols and the insert fraction mechanism is awkward.   This feature should have at least the same options available as MathType or microsoft's equat...

I know this question has been asked before (by many people), but I truly do not understand why Canvas Inbox can't be disabled. I *fully* understand that messages can be forwarded to my email but that doesn't solve the basic issues. I have SO many mes...
