Re: [Lynx-dev] apparently new gmail interface

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi,
indeed the interface has changed although  google insists that the 
standard html page still exists.
your efforts must lead to this.
However I have a link directly from google that when bookmarked will take 
you straight  to the basic html page every time.


url:?https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html&zy=h


I made a pitch to google for fixing this.  If anyone wants the direct 
email of the staff member who provided this link to me just ask.
Granted the bookmark adds a step, but it removes some as well.
