[78-L] test - to see if my g-mail really is...^

Tue Oct 15 05:04:45 PDT 2013

A followup about my comment "Gmail has had conversations since day one but

Yahoo gives you the option of disabling it."

I just went into the settings on Gmail (gear wheel - Settings -
Conversation view) and you can select to turn off the conversation view. It
works!
