Sorry people need to learn to use their mail clients.
If community is to develop and grow in positive way and possibly have an
web representation of mailing list in the future, individuals that are
doig it wrong on the list and they are informed on it, should be
informed to do it right so that everyone is happy and list is not trashed.
It absolutely has nothing to do with "hostility" , on the oposite, it is
being friendly and positive and understanding recognizing the issue and
help people not to repeat same mistakes.
If it would be hostile, people would be temporarely banned from posting
after being informed to correct posting mistake and not doing something
about it. If one recognize the problem and keeps doing th same thing, it
is then aganst community goals of having civile environment and may and
may not be intentional.
Also well-behaved and civile community is much more important then
someone's personal opinion that laziness to fix it's own problem has
anything to do with OI. Also it is of most importance to inform
Newcomers that being polite and helpful is valued and ignoring technical
problems (especially when it has nothing to do with OI mailinfg lists)
is not.
So using one's own mail client is not connected with Openindiana whatsoever.
