Help! One click can let your tech-challenged correspondent keep sending these Architecture Here And There posts to you. You need not don the above Rube Goldberg device. That is my job. Your job: Hit “Follow,” the button just to the right of these words, and these posts will continue to flow to your inbox.

Google Mail – Gmail – has apparently changed its parameters for defining bulk mail as spam. For years I have sent my posts out to many of you by copying lists of your email addresses into the “To:” field of several bulk emails, sent “bcc.” Now Gmail has suddenly started to block those emails as spam.

Every recipient of these posts who has not already done so, please click the “Follow” button over to the right. That’s all you need to do. I will no longer need to send out these posts in bulk. I will still send out my posts to the TradArch and Pro-Urb lists. Those who receive them because they are list members do not need to click “Follow.” And if you get my posts through Facebook, Twitter or other social media, you also need not hit “Follow.”

Thank you very much! I look forward to a long future of sending you posts designed to inform, entertain and uplift those who wish for a more beautiful built environment.
