As a Gmail user (all my emails route to Gmail), I found it the best
because it is free, reliable, works on all my mobile devices, large
storage, easy to use, good spam filtering, and has excellent
threading.
In fact, the only messages that become de-threaded are yours rob. Your
habit of changing the subject line makes the email messages show up
out of thread.
Now, perhaps this is the fault of GMail - or the Mail list application
that the OpenMoKo list is using. But it isn't nice, or professional,
to disparage people (especially an obvious majority) just because of
the email service they use.

by the way, it's spelled "References"

I full agree with you! But dubbel mails from gmail is IMHO
not the worst - it is starting new threads with every answer
be not using working "Referneces" or "In-Replay-To"....

monster google....

The gmailers here on the list are also _rowdily_ by not using an
emailclient with supporting working "References" :((
Maybe they are so ICT unskilled that they do not know that good
emailcinets support threading for efficient and civilised communication.
So either someone of the gmail guys explains the other gmail ICT-noobs
how to use an emailclient for a civilised participtation on a
mailinglist, or I will gooing filter all mails comming from gmail.com.
(Gmail users seems to become what AOL users has been known for)
Nice hints like:
S: Small hint:
Your Email hasn't a working "References:" or "In-Reply-To:"
in its header, so no email client could put it into the
right thread. Please check if you can answer with
"Referneces".
Seems not to be understood or respected.
****Sorry for my hard words,*****
but as we known there are over 800 people on the list and a mailinglist
without respecting References in the emailheader will making an
unneccessary mess in our inboxes, but also on the webarchives.
So when you are using gmail and you know how to use gmail
civilised on a mailinglist, please explain other gmailers
how to do so....
Which gmail user can help?
Thank you :))
