It is not a "problem". If you want FREE support, the mailing list exists. Posting your questions to a Forum will likely not do any good, as I - who don't have a problem - and not going to take the time to go read whatever is on some forum. You WANT the messages to come to my INBOX. And you can search the mail archives using any Internet search engine; you have to do nothing else. > This also means that we arrive with a burning question/issue and > unaware of protocols like "no html please" and "no top posting" . > This can also contribute to a techie and closed feel But what you want is techie support, right? -- Adam Tauno Williams, [email protected] Multi-Modal Activists Against Auto Dependent Development resisting the unAmerican socialists of the Motorist hegemony http://www.mmaaadd.org _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
