I > remember, it is discussed several times here and we are now following some > good practices. Give a meaningful subject. If you are asking a question, the > subject can be a brief description of your problem. The subject should > resemble the content of your mail. Please avoid subjects with greetings, > salutations etc. > > 2. Use one tag in your subject if needed:- It will be a good practice if you > tag your mail. Each mail to this group will contain one "[fsug-tvm]" tag > added by the group policies. Mails which contains some points to be shared > but not directly related to the content of the group should be tagged with > [OT] or [off-topic]. If you are sharing a news related to free software, you > may use [news] tag. > > 3. Do a search in the mail archive before you ask a question. It may be > asked and solved before you ask. > > 4. Trim down your replies:- When you reply to a thread, please spend some > time to remove unwanted contents, repeated email signatures, auto generated > content etc for high readability. > > 5.
