I second this suggestion. Mailing lists generate a huge knowledge base, and therefore it is important that the messages are not only human readable, but also accessible to search engines. this suggestion in this light makes sense. An occassional SMS lang is OK, but it is good if the messages are posted in full. This can be added as one of the recommendations. Nagarjuna -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
