[Copied from the announcement]

As more of you read the Straight Dope weekly mailing on different devices., we’d appreciate hearing from you as to how this is working out for you technically.

Do the embedded links work for you? Do you see all the content? Are you getting error messages? If so, what are they?

We’d like some feedback from you on how you’re accessing this mailing and any problems that you’re encountering. I’ll start a thread in ATMB.

We appreciate hearing from you on this subject, or any other, for that matter.

Thanks.

Using iPhone with the native Mail app.

The logo/banner at the top of the mailout doesn’t load for me (gives the broken image icon), but because it has an alt attribute telling me it’s from the SD I don’t really care. I have remote images turned on, btw.

But the rest of the email looks great. I like the text only layout of it and it’s very readable.

Before you made this announcement, I didn’t even know there was a mailing list. I signed up and will report back once I see it on my phone.

Sorry, where is this mailing list? I would like to sign up if it’s what I think is in it. Is what I think is in it what is in it?

It’s been mentioned in the past. But you know, there’s more to this site than just the message board.
