Re: reaching gmail in basic html?

Reading of that help page indicates you  must be in  an accepted 
browser, or in standard mail first 
which   will be fine as I can share that link directly with the production 
staff working with me.
It does not work for me otherwise, still produces the rejected error due 
to the lack of JavaScript.
Thanks though, its another door!
