it's annoying to read a email
yeah emails stink :-)
but:
if you want to start a *NEW THREAD*: write a *NEW* email. *DON'T REPLY* and then delete the body. The *HEADER* will stay
the same, so the archives and ... there are archives right ? ... and the digest people can properly sort / read mails.
if you want to *REPLY* to someones *THREAD*, hit *REPLY* (don't confuse this with *REPLY ALL*, *EVER*!) and write your
thoughts and comments *BELOW* the others ++. delete sentences that are not needed to understand your answer / comment /
thought.
if you want to send links in your mail or *REPLY* surround the with <http://> in some mailers this is respected and the
link will even work with linebreaks.
If your mailer allows you to do so, please set your linebreak to more the 72. 100 will do. chances are better that
linebreaks don't appear within links.
If you think your mail or *REPLY* will change the threads meaning, be so kind to warn us readers by changing the subject
from eg. "Re:[Re:][Re:]Really long thread about Mails" to "!!!STOP THIS THREAD!!!, WAS:Re:[Re:][Re:]Really long thread
about correct written Mails"
and last not least: would you please be so kind and write *NO HTML* mails ? in modern mailers like thunderbird [1] is
one you can easily turn off *HTML* by setting a domain rule (like if you *REPLY* or *WRITE* a mail lets say to
osflash.org, the mailer will set *TEXT ONLY* for that particular *REPLY* or mail)
ok. nobody get harmed ? let's move on.
Thanks for your attention and have a nice weekend.
