A tip for a newbie, then:
You posted a new message to the list by replying to another message (my
message to be explicit). And your message did not have anything to do
with that another (my) message.
This is bad behaviour as decent mail clients (I suppose your Outlook
Express is not one of them) show message subjects in a threaded view
like this:
+-- Great - just another spam block...
|
+-- Re: Great - just another spam block...
So your message ended up looking like this in my mail client's message subject view:
+-- Why is RH9 slower than Windows98SE. Any advice?
|
+-- Re: Why is RH9 slower than Windows98SE. Any advice?
|
+-- Re: how do i install a c-compiler for redhat 9
So instead of being showed as a new message I thought you had replied to
my message and ended up reading a message which I did not intend to read
at all.
Keeping the threads nice and clean also helps archiving and so for
searching the messages from message archives.
So please, do not do it again! And no, you are not the only one doing this *sigh*.
Regards,
Peter
