Absolutely agree with that sentiment. Except, it's not always the fault of the email client. Sometimes it's caused by an active effort made by the sender to include it in every email sent. Those folks doing that, and those that autorespond to mailing lists when they go on vacation, should be banned from the internet. Once could be a mistake. Twice stupidity. More than that should be punishable by death or sterilization, since those acts aren't quite enough to compete for the Darwin award. -- Practice random acts of intelligence and senseless acts of self-control. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
