Can I get some assistance, please?

I was going to ask [livejournal.com profile] lj_maintenance about this, but since I know you lot know more than they do, and are more likely to answer my question, is anybody else getting this when they try to respond to comments from their email/gmail accounts. More importantly how do you make it go away?

Update

This message has just gone up on [livejournal.com profile] support:

LiveJournal's feature for replying to comments in email is not working properly for Gmail users. This is due to a recent change at Gmail that is out of LiveJournal's control. If you are affected by this problem, you will need to reply to comments at the site directly, or use a different email service. (Note that LiveJournal does not guarantee that this feature will work for everyone, due to the many differences between email providers and clients. For more information, or if you use a provider other than Gmail, see the reply-by-email troubleshooting tips.)

I believe this means we now need to complain to Gmail.

I don't think gmail allows replies to comments from email - but then I never tried because I assumed that from the get-go, what with the weird way it groups emails... I think I read somewhere else that it didn't work with gmail.

Having said that, Iam just relaying hearsay so... I shall be checking this page to see if you're getting proper informed responses. Because that would be so handy. Especially with the constant problems with replying to comments in LJ.

Okay - scratch that - clearly I have no idea what I am talking about. Damn, why do I find out about this when it stops working?

Gmail does allow replies to comments from email. It worked fine for me until last week or so, when LJ started giving me weird responses and preventing me from doing so.
