Will someone please explain to me, with examples hopefully, what cel(l?) shading is?

Also: My only problem so far with gmail is that it automatically groups all LJ comment notifications with the same subject (i.e., "Reply to your post") into one conversation. I'm not used to this and I'm constantly afraid I'm deleting mails without reading and responding to them. Does anyone have a suggestion for another way to do it?

Gmail grouping

It's a pain, isn't it? I think if you click on a conversation with unread messages, it automatically "opens" all of the unread ones, so you should be able to read down the list, working your way through.

Please can you report it to Gmail as a suggestion/comment? I've done this too, as have a few friends: I hope that if more LJ users do this, they'll be more likely to sort the problem out.

Yeah, I open it like that and work through it, but I worry about getting a new email while I'm reading, having it append to the 'conversation' but not seeing it, and deleting the thing when I think I'm done!

I'll report it. Good idea. :)

I'll report as well. I'm not overly fond of the way that works either.
