GMail, particularly from Android, apparently doesn't have a way to bypass sending HTML mail (it's been a much maligned bug). Before you ask, no I very much doubt vger will change it's policy with regards to HTML mail, and honestly it's a policy I fully support. Your only bet is to use a mail client that won't send HTML, K-9 or Kaiten should work. - John 'Warthog9' Hawley On 08/07/2012 01:24 PM, Drew Northup wrote: > I am not 100% sure of the root cause of this, but I have gotten the > following error message back from vger via GMail at least twice now: > > "Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: > > git@vger.kernel.org > > Technical details of permanent failure: > Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the > recipient domain.
