I almost hate to get into any conversation about netiquette, but let me give one piece of advice that will make it easier for those of that use the thread feature under mutt (or some other mailer). [If you haven't tried threading your email messages, try it...if you're mailer won't let you, try mutt].
When sending a message to a mailing list, don't use the reply key unless you are replying to a message. If it's a new message use the compose function. Even if you change the subject and delete everything, it still keeps the in-reply-to header in the message, which messes up threading. The reply function shouldn't be used as a shortcut for typing in the address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Thanks for letting me rant! :) -Sam On Thu, Sep 05, 2002 at 12:48:47PM -0500, Mark wrote: > Folks, > > I've now been on the list for a couple of weeks, and I get the digest, and > it seems as though there are a lot of newbies, so, as a public service to > make the list easier to read, and more comprehensible, here's some standard > email netiquette: -- Sam Ockman, Chairman and CEO Tel: 415-358-2600 Fax: 415-896-6742 Toll Free: 888-PENGUIN PENGUIN COMPUTING - Simplifying the Solution Process [tm] www.penguincomputing.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
