	I remember in the SuSE OSS mail archives that some users had some 
problems with gmail . I didn't take much notice as I don't use gmail. I 
recall one of the problems was when replying to the list, it sent the 
copy to the author of the message instead of it going to the list. 
There were one or two other gripes but I can't remember them. There is 
a possibility that these problems could have been due to gmail doing 
things in a different manner to what the users are used to. 
	All I can suggest is experiment with it, get your own views.
