Hi John,

I also purposedly answered in this thread because 
1) It was fun
2) You are not the 1st person in this situation

A couple+ of times I tried to help these persons. Beause we (the OFBiz team) 
are not in charge of the OFBiz MLs. The ASF (Apache Sotfware Fundation) infra 
(infrastructure) team is.
Every time I tried to help, I got involved in discussions I'd have been happy 
to avoid. Eventually feeling like being the culprit of something, when I have 
none accesses to. Not doing it right when communicating, when I don't even know 
what on both sides the problem is.

So I'm interested by your experience. Is it only related to gmail behaviour?

Thanks

Jacques
