Cannot view Google Docs (word processing)
I go to http://docs.google.com/m to view my documents. If it is an old-type word processing document (before Google switched editors a year or two ago), it opens fine in view-only mode. But if it is a new document, it tries to edit it, and Opera Mini can't scroll the document in this mode. The links are like this one:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cUjZ_7rlAmKRDVB6GXId73h_eUdXGKdjtSff0svbaz0/edit?pli=1&hl=en_US
I tried on other mobile devices, and Google recognizes incompatible browsers and sends them here (note the mobilebasic):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cUjZ_7rlAmKRDVB6GXId73h_eUdXGKdjtSff0svbaz0/mobilebasic?pli=1&hl=en_US
How can I make it open the documents in the mobilebasic mode, without editing every time? Is there some special link to access Google Docs with, to force it to view only / HTML mode / mobile basic mode? This problem happens in any version of Opera Mini I have (4.3, 5.1, 6.1).

Bump. Do I need to find a different way to access my documents?
I know you can add ?iphone=true to force iphone mode. Is there something similar to force dumbphone mode? User agent spoofing would work, if Opera Mini would report to Google Docs that it is some other browser, but I don't think we can do that.

Well, there are no comments. You can work around it by setting this speed dial or bookmark:
After the Google Docs list has loaded, load that speed dial, and it will fix the links so that they go to a mobile view.
But it would be very nice if either Opera Mini would spoof user agent (a user agent string such as UPBrowser returns the mobile basic format), add this to the Opera Mini user javascript, or Google would fix this so it does not give Opera Mini the full editor!
javascript:e=document.getElementsByTagName('a');for(i=0;i<e.length;i++)e[i].href=e[i].href.replace('/edit?','/mobilebasic?');void(0)
