Pssst. Just wanted to mention one caveat for all the SE4 players getting GMail...

It blocks PBW's zipped turn files! :O

I have filed a bug report on this...no response, at time of this writing.

Oh, and I also have 6 invites.

It probably blocks any attachments it doesn't recognize. My email account here blocks all attachments that are not .zips I think.

That's not it. It claims to block executables, even if they are zipped. My tests have shown otherwise--a renamed executable (I changed the extension to stufft) makes it through unfiltered.

Also, the ZIPPED pbw file was blocked but when I sent the .gam file itself without zipping, it went through.

Thus, it apparently does not filter on "unknown extension" ...
