Since this is my first post I just wanted to ask what is considered
spam on this mailing list. I did a google search but found nothing.
Just wanted to know? I had used mutt a long time ago and just
recently wanted to give it a try again.
Well, I think generally unwanted and/or irrelevant and/or sales
messages count, but I don't think there's ever been a formal list
definition.
The definition of spam is like the definition of a weed: in many cases,
it's a matter of the right plant in the wrong place.
But poison ivy has a lot in common with email from Nigerian princes
asking for help moving money out of their country. They're both
annoying as h*** and can cause a lot of pain.
Anything unrelated to mutt (or perhaps email in general) might be
considered spam by some of the readers of this mailing list. By that
strict criterion, this entire thread is nothing but spam -- and I've
done nothing to change that.
