    Default Ok, please help! What's the issue with email links and CraigsList?


    I saw one post on here about it, but no explanation. Whenever I 'click' on an email link on CL from my G1, it opens a new email with an address that is something"@gmail.com", whereas CL emails should be something"@craigslist.org". I can't figure out why it does this, or how to fix it. Does anyone know? My wife is looking to get a G1 tomorrow, but she uses CL constantly, and if this is fixable, it's a deal-breaker on the G1...


    Also, how do you make it put the post title in the subject of the email like on a computer, or can you?

    Sorry if I missed a post explaining this, first time/post on the board...

    Any help is MUCH appreciated!

    Thanks

    Do you use Gmail as your primary e-mail on the G1, or some other POP or IMAP account?

    Update: I tried to duplicate what you're talking about. I opened a post on CL and clicked the e-mail in the post. Google mail opened up with the correct CL address in the To: field and the cursor on the Subject: field, ready for me to type in a subject line.

    I sign into Google under my Google Apps e-mail, if that makes any difference.

    If someone could help and write a script, I think it could fix it by using OILCAN app for the Android. This app in not in the Market place but can be downloaded from this site.

    Even if the script can take out everything but the email I guessing that would work.
