P.S., and not for the OP: Flames about top-posting will be redirected
to /dev/null. Take your flames to Google for making it the Gmail
default and making cut-and-paste so unusable on Android.
My grandfather used to say "A bad workman blames his tools".

Funny, how people rude enough to top-post (and, worse, not quote-trim)
don't like to be called on it.

My grandfather used to say "A bad workman blames
his tools".
Indeed. I've been using gmail for work for the last few months.
(They're paying me enough to get me to tolerate it, and I _never_ use
it for anything but work email.)
It takes a little more bother, but it is entirely feasible to
quote-trim and inline-post with gmail. So, I'm sorry, but "blame
Google" here reads as "I'm too lazy to bother with politeness".

You're right, it is -- *on the desktop version*.
It's extremely fiddly and slow on the phone version, which JPW said he
was using, it's *extremely* labour-intensive. Particularly on crappy
modern phones with no text-entry or text-editing hardware.

It's not particularly easy on an iPhone, either, but I
manage to make it work (like right now, for instance).
