I think it is in settings but the idiots at Google still can’t make their gmail website work with VO. I just looked at the gmail site, and I think it reverted back to the view that doesn’t work with VO, and I can’t seem to find the damn link for classic view or non html whatever it is called. Very frustrating that Google still refuses to design their apps and stuff to work with VO. On Jan 21, 2014, at 3:13 PM, David Chittenden <dchitten...@gmail.com> wrote:
