[Gimp-developer] possible mail handling software to consider
hi,
i noticed that debian had a nifty software available today,
fullquottel - Tool for recognizing mails/postings in tofu/top-posting
style
The program performs several tests to decide whether the mail is a tofu
mail or not. Each test produces a score. The final sum of the individual
test scores is compared to a threshold. If it is above it, the mail is
classified as tofu mail ('Fullquottel' is returned). Further more, the
score itself is returned as number and as a row where each score point
produces one *. Each test can be customized via a config file or on the
command line.
while i read that gtk insists (perhaps) on sticking to mozilla style
crappy and confusing text selection, i was thinking it might be nice to
start to manage the mail here the way the ettiquette instructions
suggest on the gimp web site.
any thoughts about using this software to help manage the berkeley gimp
mail lists?

You and anyone else subscribed here is free to ignore any posts that he/she dislikes. i dunno, i was trying to start a discussion and i thought that i asked nicely. it is very difficult to watch everything being taken over and handled in a way that other applications think is better. sometimes it feels like an attack from groups of well-paid individuals from those different software apps, even -- although, lord knows, i have been wrong about this kind of thing before. what i saw was something more like a teacher who looks at your first few efforts to fullfill an assignment and gives the student a chance to try it again. returned mail is not as much like begging please please please, read the ettiquette! there is a chance you understand the term nazi so much better than me though carol ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Was quite useful and probably prevented many useless mails and new postings that would have come from this system. any thoughts about using this software to help manage the berkeley gimp mail lists? I think it is to late at this stage, at least with such broken list configurations that don't set Reply-To (yes, I know the pros and cons, this is just an attempt to bait). IMO this approach is useful as a personal mail filter or at the submission level, but only blocking the list delivery is futile, because many people use 'Reply to all' anyway.
