Hey all, I did manage to get NS 3.9 built on my Powerbook G4, but noticed
when trying to access gmail when javascript is enabled, even if I try html
mode, it won't load. I just get a page with an ---> on it. If I turn off
javascript then html mode loads fine.
So my question is, is there a fix for this, or is there a keyboard shortcut
for turning off/on javascript? Or is there something I need to change on my
system to allow the html version load without shutting off javascript?
Thank you!

So far as I know, the only way to access Gmail is to keep Javascript turned
off - or to keep altering the setting under Choices->Content.

Except that now, having logged out of my Gmail account, I find that it won't
let me log in again:
"The browser you're using doesn't support JavaScript, or has JavaScript
turned off.
"To keep your Google Account secure, try signing in on a browser that has
JavaScript turned on."
So apparently I've just lost access to that email address...
(Enabling Netsurf's JavaScript doesn't help.)

I've managed to log myself in again for the moment by copying across the
entire Cookies file from a copy of Netsurf on another machine that was still
logged-in, but it's a rather disturbing prospect that if I'm ever logged out
at any point in the future, that will be it. :-(

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

It is said Messenger Pro can access a Gmail account with its IMAP
capabilities, should you ever need a non-browser RISC OS + Gmail solution
in a pinch.

Yes, I was wondering about that - I had a nasty feeling you needed to be
logged in first (and probably in non-basic HTML mode) in order to obtain the
requisite details....

Thanks! The settings even seem to be accessible via Netsurf...
I'm a bit nervous as to how this works; does it download copies of all
incoming messages to a specified inbox? (I've only ever used POP email.)

With IMAP mail is stored on a server, and an MUA keeps the connection
open while a user manages his mailbox. I.e., mail is not downloaded,
and,
depending on the capabilities of a mail client, an external program
might
be needed to save it locally.

I am running Netsurf v3.2 (August 2014) (from Help -> About) on Ubuntu
Linux 16.04.x .
(NetSurf 3.2 (26th August 2014) )
Interestingly, the Help -> About window, whilst showing the version to
be dated 2014, has "Copyright 2003-2011" (?)
I do not enable javascript in Netsurf.
I access my primary gmail account (the one from which I have posted
thiis message), using Netsurf.
My gmail account is set to the basic mode (I do not knpow whether that
is the name of the mode, as assigned by google - it was previously
displayed in the gmail window, but, is not, now).
The gmail seems to be as usable as gmail is usable (it does not work
with firefox, for me - the way it is displayed in firefox, is
illegible).

Yes, it is - but can you enter your password to log in? (Better take a copy
of the COokies file if you plan to experiment...)
Google now appear to have wrapped GMail into the concept of their general
'Google Account', which I suspect is what is causing the problem.

I forgot all about using Gmail with MPro - works just fine here.
These are the settings I have in Hermes:-
POP3 mail server - pop.gmail.com
Port - 995
User name - (MyEmail)(a)gmail.com
Password - You get the picture...
Secure connection selected (SSL). Works a charm.

I have a Gmail account as a backup, and I can now easily access it using
MPro 8.01. There are full instructions that came with 8.00 as to how to
set this up, but you do need a non-RISC OS machine to set it up.
Thereafter RISC OS does it all.
HTH,
Best wishes,
Peter.

Here in Australia, it is better to avoid unnecessary bandwidth usage,
as telecommunications have been made completely unstable, by the feral
government.
So, logging out and trying to log back in, is precarious, whether or
not it works with gmail.
All attempts to access the Internet, are now precarious and unstable,
in Australia, due to the sabotage of telecommunications.
Even if logging out and logging back in to gmail, does work, it could
take several hours, if it succeeds, due to the intermittent an erratic
nature of telecommunications in Australia.
I have attached an example of the ongoing, persistent, instability
that the feral government inflicted on Australia. I not know whether
this mailing list allows attachments, so, we will find whether it gets
through....

Okay.
With Netsurf having just crashed due to the Internet connection
breaking up, I have started a new session og gmail, and the login
process is as it has been for a while - account name - 1 screen, then
password input - second screen, and I logged in without any problem.
Then the browser crashed again, when the Internet connection broke
again, but, I managed to log in again, without any problem.
Now, I will try to send this message, and jope that the Internet
connection does not break again and cause the browser to crash again.

Keystroke is an app still use... If I can fathom how to do it...
I wonder if there's anyone left in the RISC OS arena who is expert on
Keystroke?
