One of the nice things about Shortwave's Gmail frontend is that it isn't full of consistency bugs. Gmail is forever showing me out of date info. Also sometimes 5 minutes after I do something in Gmail it will complain when I close the window that some info hasn't been saved. WTF? They made some non-transactional architectural decisions in Gmail long ago that are still causing problems.

Google Workspace bounced an email to my somebits email address. That stuff just forwards to my gmail account. I've learned two things today:

  1. Google's own forwarding of messages breaks DKIM and can cause email to be marked as spam just because of its own forwarding process
  2. Google leaked my gmail address in the bounce from the message sent to my somebits address. That's a major privacy violation!
