Code of conduct When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules: Do not send spam; see the advertising policy below. *Send all of your e-mails in English. Only use other languages on mailing lists where that is explicitely allowed (e.g. French on debian-user-french). *Make sure that you are using the proper list. In particular, don't send user-related questions to developer-related mailing lists. *Wrap your lines at 80 characters or less for ordinary discussion. Lines longer than 80 characters are acceptable for computer-generated output (e.g., ls -l). *Do not send automated "out-of-office" or "vacation" messages. *Do not send subscription or unsubscription requests to the list address itself; use the respective -request address instead. *Never send your messages in HTML; use plain text instead. *Avoid sending large attachments. *When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request to be copied. *If you send messages to lists to which you are not subscribed, always note that fact in the body of your message. *Do not use foul language; besides, some people receive the lists via packet radio, where swearing is illegal. *Try not to flame; it is not polite. hugh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
