- Don't top post. It may be the norm in corporate environments, but tech conversations are much clearer if you interleave your replies with the relevant questions/comments. A part of this is to use proper quoting and indenting. - Trim your mails. Don't include all the rest of the email in the thread if it's not relevant. We can all see the rest of the thread as we've already got it all in our inboxes. - Avoid using HTML/RichText emails. It rarely enhances the understanding of the text and, to be honest, sometimes makes it more difficult to read. For instance the background colour you have on your emails make it look like the content is "greyed out"! HTML emails are for eye-candy only and a waste of bandwidth - your emails are 23k, mine 4k for the same information content. There's no "law" that you have to do these things, but it will piss people off if you don't and you will continually get comments about it. Also, not all mailing lists are the same - read and watch a list for a little while, then try and fit in. You will get a lot more help with things that way. (We will always try and help, but if people keep ignoring advice, eventually that help will dry up. You've got to help us to help you.)
