When composing plaintext, Gmail really should switch to a fixed font.
I'll try writing the post in slrn (which calls emacs in mail-mode) and
then inserting that file into gmail. What a colossal PITA.

Another gmane user posted a reply to my message, and I see it got
rejected also.

Were posts from gmane causing problems?

I've been trying to figure out how to set up mutt with oauth2 for
gmail, but have run into a wall there too: Google doesn't want to let
me create an "application" unless I have my own domain pre-registered
with Google.

Perhaps after 20+ years participating here, it's time to call it
quits.
