I disagree completely, and I am a threaded reader. The *PROPER* way to write email replies is to post comments inline, stripping out everything not needed in the email you're replying to, such as I am doing right now. People who leave the entire message they've replied to, headers, footers and inane comments intact for 16 messages "deep" are wasting resources, no matter how small. It takes more effort to propery trim and format email replies this way but IMO it puts your responses in context and keeps the email concise, no matter how deep the thread. > I don't like HTML either but a lot of people don't know they can switch > it off or that it even exists (its a word processor isn't it?). True, it's a problem with MUAs in general. Don't even get me started on the WINMAIL.DAT-obsessed. :-) > Please don't bring these subjects into things it just makes people with > other views upset. Agreed to a point, but I also believe that polite society finds a common ground and adheres to it for the good of the society. :-) -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
