[Fourlanders] old callsign request

[Tom McElroy]

I first noticed it with your replies on a previous thread, Jim.
Then it happened to Kos, Dean, and Bill on this thread,  and now I see all
of your text.

I'm using Gmail, and these screen caps show how it looks from my end.

I know it doesn't seem like it's problem at the user end, but like you and
Bill say "how does email break", and only for some, but not all?

Can we get a tally of who has the Sporadic-E mail problem, and correlate it
with the email program? That method has obvious limitations, but I don't
have a clue otherwise.
