Sometime around 2010 I went to a public computer lab and created my gmail
 account, then back in my room I tried to use it. I could log in and get list
 of messages, but there's no way to view the contents of a message!!

    To use Gmail's basic HTML view, which does not require JavaScript,
    click here. = http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html&zy=c
Still no way to view message content! The list of messages looks like this:
Inbox
    Archive   Report Spam   Delete   [More Actions...]  Go  Refresh 1 - 2
    of 2
    [ ]     <BB> ***.3.CalRobert
    Test e-mail to gmail with sg filter there
