New Look will but forced on us all, well that was the message I got
the last time I checked. I can't be bothered reading the Google Blog
or forums any more. Google seem to have turned into the new Microsoft.

I have switched over th the the HTML, javascript free version of Gmail.
It is not as well featured as Old or New Look Gmail but it runs nicely
in Netsurf on an Iyonix and is usable with Netsurf on an SARPC.

You can also enable IMAP access in Gmail and read your mail with MPro.

Good point, I'd forgotten about that feature of Google Groups. I
only use Google Groups these days to check on the Select list. Once
every six months or so.
