Fair enough. I haven't surveyed which mail clients do and do not support
threading.
This is a high volume list. Manually deleting all the redundant copies
that would result if your practice was common would be tiresome,
tedious, unnecessary and burdensome.
So don't. Press the space bar if the del key is too small for you. I
don't find it a problem. Apparently some people do. Again, fair enough.
It has for years been the practice on this list to reply _only_ to the
list and not send redundant copies to the person to whose post you're
replying.
And I was to know that how? Read the wiki, right? Well the wiki pages on
this ( http://en.opensuse.org/Opensuse_mailing_list_netiquette and
http://en.opensuse.org/Mailing_Lists#Reply-to-munging ) say nothing on
this matter bar suggesting discussion of it should be avoided: "please
don't complain about this on the lists, it has been discussed many,
many, many times in the past already."
Is it really necessary to install a plug-in to use Thunderbird
conveniently on this list? And why isn't the information in the on-line
FAQ if it's so well established?
TBH, this wouldn't bother me but for the tone with which the somewhat
obscure matter was raised by Mr Marshall.
