I mostly use master on my Arch box, and any arch offshoot distros I run, e.g.  F123. 
I've been running 3.18.2 on Vinux5, and don't remember what I have on Debian which I've not used of late 
anyway...
I don't remember which machine I was using when I wrote the post abouot gmail, but doubt any change between 
3.18 and recent master builds of orca would 
make much difference. 
I'll test with 3.18 in a bit if I get the chancew and remember.
Actually, I'm pretty sure I was using the Vinux box, so I was using 3.18 for the time in question. 
I'm going to upgrade to latest master on this machine most likely in a bit, but if I don't I'll test on the 
arch box mid week when I go back to work 
where my arch box is currently.
Results will certainly vary depending on connection quality as with any web app, but it seems like orca and 
gmail are holding up thjeir ends to 
me...Will test more and certainly report if my opinion changes.

I just wanted to post a thank you and a change of opinion that is
related. I've used orca and firefox a bit over the years, first
mostly with basic html view, and as gmail got their act together
and orca's firefox support improved a bit with the standard view. 
Honestly my use of the standard gmail view was for testing most of
the time, and I got more favorable results/did occasionally just
use it. Well tonight I was using firefox and needed an emailed
link. I did not want to open an email client. I'd not used gmail
from a browser on this box, so I got the standard view. I can only
say wow! Responsiveness was great, and things work intuitively. 
This experience was so good that as long as I have a good fast 
connection I can see doing a significant bit of my gmailing with 
firefox/orca and the standard interface. Some of the improvement is
surely due to having a decent connection now which I've not always
had, but a big thank you goes out to Joani, and I'll send this
along to the gmail team as well. Virtual hug! I will still do most
of my email work with Mutt, and t-bird will always stay in the tool
kit, but now I can happily add modern webmail, and this is going a
long way towards me overcoming my prejudice against webmail 
users...smile I see an "insert file using drive" option that's been
added since last time I composed gmail from a browser/will be very
handy. -- b.h. el Rey Lampago
