So how come...

Why do people put lines at the bottoms of their emails saying what device they sent their messages from? Is there some reason I need to know, or are they just bragging about their new toys? I've been seeing "sent from my Blackberry" for a while, just now I saw "Sent from my iPad."

This message was sent from my Windows XP box, service pack 3, FireFox 3.6.8. Just in case you needed to know that.

yep -- email in general is iffy at best, and web-based email is practically unusable. (LJ and FB are mostly usable, but email? icky, icky, icky.)

I've never had trouble on my Android, and it does not add junk to my emails as it routes them through my regular, non-gmail outbound account.

Amy and I were specifically talking about the iPod, and it's not trouble as in "doesn't work right or at all" but trouble as in "ye ghods it's hard to navigate these web-pages-pretending-to-be-mailreaders".

(Realise that the only reason I've got anything at all is that SR got a 16G iPod Touch for graduation, and I got her old 8G. I use it mostly for music and games, but have been known to do FB and LJ on it, especially when DB is using my computer for homework.... I suspect that if I were to actually use the iPod for email, I'd use the email app, not the web-based mailboxes. That would probably work better. :))
