Welcome to the list. Please note some general guidelines when replying to messages. Most of these are common practice in nearly all technical mailing lists: * Avoid top-posting, i.e. add your remarks *after* the material youwant to comment on rather than before it. * Quote only the specific material you want to comment on, rather than including the entire message. In Evolution the easiest way to do this is by selecting the text before hitting Reply. * In the same vein, remove the boilerplate text (the horizontal line and everything below it) from the end of the message you are quoting. The list software will add another copy even if it's already there. * Whenever possible, use Reply-to-List rather than Reply-to-All. This makes threading easier. Unfortunately it's not always possible, because someone already broke the thread by using Reply-to-All. * Never introduce a new topic by hitting Reply and changing the Subject. This is called thread hijacking and is frowned on. * Use plaintext in preference to HTML.
