Subject: plain text only policy prohibits the use of android based mobile devices
Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 18:03:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTik5g+oahTuTZ5BSOunQMfzGNRZ-7Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

hi,

Due to the existing policy about plain text only messages accepted by
the list it is impossible to send an email from any mobile device
using gmail native app. The problem is that Google for some reason
doesn't include plain text email sending as a configurable feature in
Android v2+ and only sends multipart HTML and plain text messages from
Android 3.1+ devices (AKA Honeycomb tablets)

The necessity to use the desktop in order to send a message to the
list is annoying and not quite contemporary.

In the same time this policy doesn't seem to cut off SPAM effectively
as I'm getting plenty of different emails of stupid nature with git
majordomo or whatever it is signature inside.

Can the filter be made smarter to accept at least the messages from
Honeycomb devices 3.1+?
Is there any other steps that can be made to make the list more mobile-friendly?


Thanks,
Eugene
