You can of course post any way you want. But I suppose you want to get a decent reply? Then it is in your interest to make your posts easy to read *and* easy to understand. For me that means short with no irrelevant quotes, and preferably with your part after the quotes (as I read from the top to the bottom). Hundreds of lines of quoted text to be read bottom up do not tempt me to make an effort to figure out what's going on. ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
