But the people with who you are discussing don't. Attribution lines really are standard in mailing lists, since there is no other indication who you are replying to. There is actually no good reason that RMAIL omits them. It is a serious and actually quite unnecessary shortcoming of RMAIL. And in contrast to the lack of threading into separate groups and threads, the harm is on the _other_ persons participating in the discussion. Which makes it a matter of politeness to others, not merely of inconvenience for oneself. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
