The same way you can directly download docs right from the library here on MR or Project Guttenberg, etc.
On the K2 browser, gmail presents simple direct links to the attachments, so it works smoothly. On the K3, Gmail tries to be fancy and open attachment in another window, which the Kindle won't do, so I have to access my Gmail through a proxy like skweezer.com, or presumably you use one of the hacks that work around the multiple window issue.

p.s. Note, as more people do this, and Amazon sees higher 3G costs, there is always the risk that they will block this "experimental" feature. Just saying.

I was going to point out the multiple windows problem, but I am not aware of how skweezer.com functions. How do they get around the window problem?
Thanks
I wouldn't worry about too many people doing this. Amazon has sold upwards of 12 million Kindles and the entire membership of the forum here, including all ereaders, is just over 122,000. If we all did this it would be about 1% of the web traffic. I really don't see them getting upset other than on a case by case basis.
