I don't think a lot of designers of MUAs are willing to put more time into designing software that really meets the standards set by best practices for email in general, much less the requirements of list posting. I find it quite distasteful to try to work around stupid software design. I'd far rather deal with software with predictable bugs than with software that treats me like an idiot, which is why I stick with Evolution for Linux. Apple is the worst! Mac Mail is bad, and mail clients for iOS - iPhones and iPads - are worse. So people are going to have to forgive me (or not) if I sometimes violate the rules of good netiquette. I cut other people a lot of slack in this regard. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The only unchanging certainty FMP Computer Services | is the certainty of change" 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | - Ancient wisdom, all cultures ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
