I do not read most of your threads because you begin them by asking only for responses from "senior list members" and such like. In the few occasions I have asked you if you ONLY want responses from those who consider themselves such, you have never replied. So, I have concluded that most of your messages have not been for me to read or respond to. This time around you did not start your email that way, so I read on and attempted to help you. In the posts of yours that I have seen, such as the one where you got an error message from a web server and so decided to install a bunch of unnecessary PHP and MySQL packages, there are many errors of terminology and concepts. I had asked again if you were using the gmail web interface in order to double check you were really using the webmail as your MUA so we could establish for sure if the problem was with the gmail web interface or with some other piece of software. What I've seen of this and others of your problems require a lot of questions to establish the basic facts, if anyone is to help you. > There is more garbage that follows from the individual, but I shall > choose to ignore, and not unnecessarily waste my time on such > individuals, but prefer to engage with Mr. David, Mr. George, Mr. > Verdier and other such constructive co-users. I have always felt that my responses to you have been constructive, even when it seemed like you were not doing yourself any favours in the way you were trying to get help. I am sad to see that my efforts have been unwelcome and that you have such a low opinion of me. I will not bother you again. At least something useful (to me) did come out of it: I learned that likely 30%+ of the readers of this list use gmail, and if you edit an email subject then gmail detaches that email from the "conversation". I can see why that would be confusing for you, and a huge percentage of other readers of this list who use such a limited service. Regards, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
