the web client can send plain text, it's only the mobile client that doesn't have an option to do so
Oh, OK, that's good to know. Regardless the point is that it's a client issue.

Interestingly, one of my biggest problems with Gmail is that they don't allow actual plaintext. I used to routinely collaborate with developers who were vision-impaired, and the official Gmail phone app wouldn't let me send them plaintext email. Instead, it was some sort of HTML thing. Unfortunately, we sometimes sent code snippets to each other over email, and though admittedly it looked more or less fine, Gmail changed the underlying representation enough that my collaborators' screen readers would mess up on the parsing.
This led to me leaving Gmail on my phone, which led ultimately to me leaving Gmail entirely.
That sounds like a problem with the Gmail webmail client -- I don't think Gmail does that when used over IMAP with an external client?

Another little thing: The post mentions that tag sequences are only used for the flags of England, Scotland, and Wales. Those are the only ones that are standard (RGI), but because it's clear how the mechanism would work for other subnational entities, some systems support other ones, such as US state flags! I don't recommend using these if you want other people to be able to see them, but...
I know this isn't the point, but it really bugs me to see "conspiracy" used to mean "conspiracy theory" in this way. (And this is less of a proper conspiracy theory and more just a crackpot theory, tbh.)

Looks like the title transformer changed this one to a false statement.
I do not intend to offend you as it is not really about you, just that people generally resort to dictionaries like no tomorrow, but read this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44845717.
To be clear, I'm trying to appeal here to actual usage, not to the dictionary per se. The dictionary is just evidence of such, since trying to directly present evidence of actual usage is not so easy without some good tools.
This was before amplifiers were invented, so the announcer had to be very loud.
I'm aware of that, but the term I'm familiar with is "crier". I've never heard "screamer" used in that sense. Wiktionary doesn't list such a usage; contrast with "crier" for which it is listed.

The verb "to herald" means to be a sign of something that is imminent.
But the noun "herald" literally means "official who tells the news"
So this still definitely checks out.
I might have gone with "crier" rather than "herald". That seems a little closer in terms of what the actual job consists of? But I agree that "herald" seems fine.
That's what a herald is in the literal sense - someone who is telling the news. Of course these days it is generally used metaphorically.
