Dear list members, This mailing list follows Mailing list Etiquettes or Guidelines very similar to one given in http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists/etiquette, which is not different from commonly followed mailing list guidelines by most other technical mailing lists. The following are considered to be very important and often insisted points amongst them,
[1] Write your email *underneath* the email which you are replying to. [2] Tailor your reply to fit the text which you are replying to. *Do not quote the whole of the previous email* - remove any unnecessary text. To avoid confusion, it's often a good idea to replace removed text with a brief indication that something has been removed, like /[snip]/. [3] Avoid sending emails in HTML format, if possible. Some people may find it more difficult to read or reply to these emails. Also, HTML email takes up more space, so people with restricted internet access will be happier to receive plain text emails. Off late, we have been seeing mails which do not reflect these guidelines being followed. Though guidelines are not rules but suggestions, they help in having an healthy, meaningful interaction in the list. As the mailing list is archived for future references, following these guidelines will help people searching for information from the archive. Please do not top post and please do trim the previous posts in the thread, leaving only the exact point you're replying to. Please trim off the signatures left by the earlier post as their words get quoted and their names attributed at the beginning of the quote itself. Please send mails in text mode, as it is smaller in size, easier for people who read things in text mode clients as well as help in maintaining a clean archive. Note: There is no intention to debate the validity of these guidelines, which has been done numerous times in almost every existent mailing list in this world. Hope to get you support in this regards, Mailing List Administrators. -- --- With Regards, Parthan "technofreak" <gpg> 2FF01026 <blog> http://blog.technofreak.in -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
