Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Solved: Gmail thinks Gitlab is Spam

[Ed Willink <ed.willink@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Yes, the tails may be a red herring. It was just that the 'Spam' 
messages I rescued were from Eclipse and they all had this tail, which 
despite the comment in

https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/actions/declaring-actions

are not ignored by the Thunderbird email client. Surely the EF should 
ensure that EF messages do not contain what is clearly partial SPAM? 
Bugzilla was fine.

It appears that contrary to the 0.05% false positive rate claimed for 
the Gmail Spam filter, it was actually more like 50% for me affecting 
many senders. Truly abysmal. Any in a folder that requires a couple of 
scrolling actions to reveal.

    Regards

        Ed Willink
