Actually I consider it to be impolite and annoying (back when I used Thunderbird with it's broken reply-support I edited the destination headers by hand before replying to a list--if _I_ use a broken mail client _I_ have to minimize the influence on the recipients), but it's also impolite (and too much work ;-) ) to complain to every message from everybody who sends me 2 replies... -- Jan Claeys -- launchpad-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users
