My life is such that participating in GMCnet requires doing it on an
iPhone. Im doing it at the back of a classroom while my co-instructor is
teaching, or standing in line at the airport, or while having dinner in
some distant burg.
I cannot do it on my government computer, which takes too long to fire up
anyway. I traveled 40 weeks last year, and only two of them with my own
laptop (Ken knows which two weeks those were). My elbows are already
falling apart--I'm not carrying two laptops :)
But I also have to keep GMCnet separate from my regular personal email. So
I have an email address that I only use with a few mail lists, including
GMCnet. (It must be said that the forum does not have an effective iOS
user interface.)
I have been using Google's Inbox app, but it makes it extremely tedious to
trim long quotes. The Gmail app is worse--it's why I went to Inbox in the
first place. IOS Mail is much worse, and forces me to use a different
outgoing server.
Does anyone know of good mail app for iOS that allows one to trim quotes by
selecting text rather than doing it one character at a time? Using the
selection tool, Inbox selects all of the quoted text or none of it. I have
given up on replying to many threads because I didn't have time to wait for
that software to let me delete through 1000 characters of nested quotes to
leave just the one sentence I'm responding to.
An alternative would be for Billy to see if there is Tapatalk support in
the forum software.
It also might be easier to attract Facebook GMCers if we can identify or
construct an easier way to use GMCnet on an iPhone.
