8-)) At work, and occasionally elsewhere, I'm using a really crappy webmail interface supplied courtesy of my ISP. Although I can configure permanently how mails appear to me, there appears to be no way to do it with outgoing stuff. I don't want to use a proper email programme when I'm away from my home machine, as I store stuff on that. I assume that the extra "Re:" is part of this problem. _If I remember_ I try to do things like add carriage returns and get rid of excess footers but I'm getting old and I also get caught up in "conversations" so I tend to forget.
So, in advance, I apologise to those who have difficulty with my posts and I will try to do better in future. m > > From: Tim Øsleby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/06/23 Fri PM 10:23:19 GMT > To: "'Pentax-Discuss Mail List'" <[email protected]> > Subject: RE:RE: Re: My kludge is broken (further question) > > Off topic, but Mike. > When you reply to a post you almost always adds an extra RE: in the subject > line.
