Well, I can agree with that. But there is one problem: mainstream doesn't
care. Websites are bloated, pictures, videos everywhere, tons of JS etc.
Regarding X2Go - X11 is being obsolete, Wayland is not developed with
low-bandwidth remote access in mind, modern GUI toolkits make heavy use of
bitmaps etc.
All that leaves not so much choice - transfer bitmaps, bitmaps and more
bitmaps. Compress them, cache, etc, but use bitmaps.

I wish I didn't have to use OWA at work. Again it screws me up. I have noticed 
that Thunderbird will nicely say "reply to list", but that's getting harder to 
use as Microsoft keeps trying to kill IMAP.

This list is following the rules set out in RFC 2369, so it sets a
List-ID header, which, in sane mail clients, causes a "Reply to List"
option to become available when replying.  This RFC is from 1998, so
it's not like it has just been introduced yesterday and mail client
software coders didn't have enough time to support this feature.

Mangling the Reply-To header (which may have been set intentionally by
the original sender) with list software is bad form.

E.g. if you want to post to the list, but want to set the Reply-To to
another list or to your E-Mail address, so replies don't hit the list,
this would be overwritten, pointing at the list again.

This is confusing both for a sender that doesn't expect it, and for
recipients that expect their reply to reach your inbox instead of the
list when intentionally selecting "reply" instead of "reply to list".

We're using manually set Reply-To headers as a replacement for
"Follow-Up-To" (a header only available on newsgroups), when
crossposting announcements across multiple X2Go lists, but wish to
channel the ensuing discussion to only one of the lists.  So having the
list server set to override this would be bad.

And I think I also used it with a Reply-To set to my personal inbox for
the X2Go: The Gathering registration E-Mails.  At least it makes sense
for these - people probably don't want to post their personal details to
the list when they want to sign up for the event.

TL;DR: Please complain to the manufacturer of your E-Mail client, or
switch to a different E-Mail client, if it can't handle list replies the
way it should.

After I deleted that file, it has yet to be recreated with the new client.

I'll see if I can do more testing later today.

Well, that file contains all errors happening during an X session.
There are a lot of qt related messages and some are missing a newer
GLX version.

This is from a KDE session. Please retry with another session type and
post the (new created) .xession-errors-File. KDE/QT errors happen all
the time so they are not a clear indicator for problems However,
WHEN you see a xsession-errors-File this means the session must have
been up else clients could not create al those messages At the end
of the log I see some crashing application but I don't really see what
crashed...

There also some BadWindow messages. which indicates weird things going
on. Have you checked the machine's memory?

Trying again to send to list. I kind of wish default reply was reply to list, I 
end up sending just to one user...

And to talk about the US - it varies wildly. We're in the southerntier / 
fingerlakes in NY and we can see anything from a fiber connection (that still 
tops out at 250/25 for some insane reason) to LTE at around 8Mbits/.75mbit to 
Cable that's all cable can be to DSL that's basically dial up because Frontier 
is bankrupt and never upgraded anything since 2004 to satellite that is who 
knows what, to people who have no internet options.

The idea that everyone has or is likely to have 25mbit symmetrical Internet or 
better isn't true in "first world nations" forget about generally anywhere in 
the world. If we didn't care about limited network performance, I can't see why 
everyone wouldn't just use VNC... The performance is just not there with "just 
stream video of the screen" technologies.

This one is, of course, missing the decimal. 2.625.  Not 2625.  Though
