Gmail
stoat | April 27, 2010Good grief. So I try to gmail someone a message, and I happen to say "see attachment" in my text, and when I press "send" up pops a little box "I notice you said see attachemnt, but there isn't one. Is that alright?" or somesuch.

Bad Request
Error 400
Am I the only one this is happening to? Does anyone know what is happening with gmail and how long this will continue into the future? I mean, there are some emails on my account that are very important, such as those from my upcoming conference that I cannot respond to, for example .. *panic*
