I think that it was a poor suggestion / comment to make, as that part hadnt quite sunk in relating to all the bogus messages that would get onto the list!

For example, our friend Tony Rose: ----------------- Hi, I will be out of the office and unable to reply to e-mail until August 21st. If you need to reach technical support please contact Karen Liu, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], for business issues, please contact Jim Queen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Paul Healy, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best Regards, Tony Rose ----------------- I'd rather receive this myself everytime I post something in this mailing list than to have this kind of message archived on the list. Please, can you all use decent mail systems, and this includes: - Not using Outlook because it doesn't include In-Reply-To headers and completely breaks threading - Not using broken vacation systems that replies to Precendende: list or bulk - Not using broken mail systems that also delivers NDR's to these Precedences - Not using broken vacation systems that always reply back - it should reply only once per From address, as a minimum functionality - Not create a new thread by replying to an existing message, making your message appear inside a thread and certainly be ignored "Let's all make these lists a better place." Thanks ;)
