That's correct.   Just post to libreoffice-users
(users@global.libreoffice.org), as you are doing right now.

Re: [libreoffice-users] The tone of thiese Lists (from a newbie)

2011-11-26 Thread David S. Crampton

Bob,

I made the same mistake when I first signed up. I was sending questions to  
"users+help". The syntax makes that sound reasonable. After the 3rd try of  
getting the same boilerplate "help" message back I found the correct:  
"users@global.libreoffice.org".  That's what puts you in business!


Good luck,
David S. Crampton

Tom,
Thanks for the quick response.  My question was sent directly to  
(user+help) but right after signing up.  Maybe I should have waited for  
the dust to settle before launching the question.  I'll resend the  
email.Thanks again.And I truly am enjoying the boat load of emails. |:>)

Hi :)
Weird.  I couldn't find your question.  I had a look through Nabble
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/nabble-mailing-list-interface/
and also checked all through my in-box for the last few days.  (That's  
usually a good way to find a post that accidentally (or deliberately)  
hijacked a thread).


The best way to ask a question is to write a new email rather than just  
using "Reply to".  Or in Nabble click "New Topic" somewhere top(ish)  
left.  GMane will have something similar no doubt.


Please could you ask again but make it a new question?

Regards from
Tom :)

users+help is not a list, it is used to send you instructions about how to

RE: [libreoffice-users] The tone of thiese Lists (from a newbie)

2011-11-26 Thread Bob Houston

Hi,I hope it's OK to jump in with a question, because I'm one of the newbies 
that you may be talking about.
I sent an email off to (user+help) on 11/23 about a problem with the display of 
hidden characters (The Pilcrow) that I am having on two systems.
Since sending the email I have been receiving a boat load of libreoffice-users 
emails that I am finding very informative but nothing about my Pilcrow.
Questions:
Did I send it to the right place?Do I even know if it was received?Is there an 
input queue that it goes into and I'll see something when it's looked at?And 
lastly, does anyone on this list know how to get my Pilcrows back.
Sorry for jumping in but thanks in advance.
Bob
