Can we have a format made online? Something like: ====== To Principal Information officer Ministry of XYZ New Delhi. Subject: Application under RTI Act for information on mailing solution being used. Dear Sir, In view of recent news article (need cite here) about PMO loosing vital information due to mailing software being beset with virus and subsequent adoption of Open Source solution. I would like to request the following information: 1. The software for emailing solution in use under your ministry is proprietary or open source 2. No data/information has been lost in the ministry due to any virus or similar malware attacks. 3. If there is loss of information then period for which records are lost. Yours etc etc ===== Can other comment on this draft? All it takes is to attache a Rs10 postal order and send it away. -- Regards, Sudev Barar Read http://blog.sudev.in for topics ranging from here to there. PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too. Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and persuade others. In case you are already doing this ..... great, spread the message. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
