As I am new, I wonder what the etiquette is on this list for dealing
with people who screws up the metadata by hitting reply instead of
writing a new message
This annoys me, since my email client is smart enough to break the
conversations down Usenet style, making it easy to keep track of all
the replies. People replying instead of writing new messages
interferes with this and makes it harder to keep track of the
conversations.
The client can not just ignore the message subject, because there are
valid reasons to change the subject once in a while, not to mention
that replies does it with the RE:, the metadata is the only usable way
of doing it.
Of course, there is also the issue with people who reply without the
metadata, mainly bulk users. However, I think that is not a needed
issue either, since it is possible to make bulk messages contain each
message separately so that the metadata is indeed kept when replying.
Anyway, I am looking for some advice from someone who knows what the
policy is.
I don't know what the policy is, I've never seen anyone particularly
rebuked for an simple mistake and I hope it remains like that. Whatever
the situation is, the list works well as-is.
