Other people manage to get working mail setups one way or another. Apparently you're the only person in the world who can't. > It is not a matter of my refusing to accede to your unreasonable > demands to do something I cannot do in order to pamper your lazy self. But of course it is a matter of your very own laziness. If you wanted, you could most easily find other (more compliant) ways to read/send mail. Of course that would require yourself to do something instead of someone else. Which obviously is the problem at hand. And while we're already at it: I do read this list, so there's no need for you to send me additional copies of your mails. The list address by all means does suffice. > I have no trouble following the traffic on this list. Maybe you > should try reading something easier if it gives you trouble.

The second you stop worrying about attributions when your own mails are still *way* sub-par. BTW, did I mention that with proper threading in place, lack of attribution magically ceases to be a problem?
