Can I just say I don't see what the problem is. I could read Bill's
email perfectly well, without opening any links (the link to his blog
site just pointed to the text he had pasted into the email).

I'm using a new Google gmail account, and it doesn't seem to have any
difficulty reading it (from the web interface).

I will say that Gmail is excellent for lists like ASA (I've got four
lists on the go). A particularly nice feature is that threads are
kept together as single lines in your in a single line in your inbox,
and it also gives Google style searching over your emails.

I found that reading stuff on the Gmail interface is much faster than
browsing the ASA archive, which is often extremely slow.

Only slight downside is that you get text ads on the side (like in Google).

It's by invitation only and I have 49 invites at the moment. Anyone
interested, send me an email offlist.
