Re: [libreoffice-marketing] remove

Hi :)

Gmail and Yahoo are both affected.  They might be "bogus systems" but they are 
'quite' widely used so we need to find a way of getting something that does work 
with both.  Blaming users and expecting them to change systems is not a winning 
strategy.  It might be good to develop working relationships with Yahoo & Gmail 
devs and management to see if their "bogus systems" can be corrected.
Regards from
Tom :)

normally, clicking the link should work. :-) With GMail, it is a known bug that 
it doesn't work, but that's GMail's fault. + addresses are in the RFC 
(standard).

Sadly not. Only bogus sytems can't handle this. It's sad that GMail is affected.
