OT: Gmail isnt the be-all and end-all for flashcoders

2004-09-14 Thread Mike Kear
I've found out that you can't post to flashcoders from gmail
apparently, because gmail doesnt offer any way to send text-only mail.

Since flashcoders apparently rejects html email, and gmail only sends
html email, you can't post to flashcoders if you use gmail.

that's a lesson to learn if it's ever proposed to ban html email on
cf-talk.It'll mean all those people who scrambled to get gmail
accounts wont be able to post.

Or have i got the wrong end of the stick again?

HTML mail IS banned on all HoF lists. That is to say, mail that ONLY has an HTML part is banned. Mail that has both an HTML part and a plain text part is processed properly. 
I've posted from GMail a number of times with no problem. I'd ask the Flashcoders listmanager for information on how they parse the mail to determine what to block.
