TO ALL,
Nearly 24 hours now and my original message has still not shown up. I would
now like someone to reply to it and I will confirm that it then does show up
with the reply(s).
Dan,
Yes I know the conversation handling is a gmail feature. And it may well be
that it it responsible for the inconsistent timing of "updating the
conversation" when I was sending all those replies.It could also be timing
of the list sending updates out. Doesn't really matter. The only reason I
commented on it was that the inconsistent timing made a liar out of me and I
needed to fess up that it DID update the conversation for my own replies
some of the time.
Alex,
Been there - done that. Both a year or so ago and yesterday. Sorry if my
messages did not convey that to you. I thought I had said so, but maybe
that was in my private email to Alan.
Alan,
Ya got me pal :) I really do not know. Clearly I am not getting that first
echo. On the other hand I am using web access to gmail. Were I using a
normal email client I could have set the client to place a copy of my
original emails in my inbox and for it to display threads/conversations. I
don't suppose you are doing anything like that?
