Well, I don't think my comment was meant for you, but maybe I totally misunderstand what you are saying here (English is of course not my native language, that's why it look very strange sometimes). >> >> If you plan to write here again, you should subscribe to >> the list. > > That's fine for you, but realize that what you like isn't necessarly > anyonre/everyone else's cup of tea. I guess I should have written ”could” instead of ”should” or something, I don't know. Anyway, I have always said that if someone is not subscribed it's not my problem that he or she doesn't receive my replies. People didn't like that kind of attitude, so now I changed that; I even added that address to the ”To:” field, to make sure that my reply would reach the right person. I guess I now need to find a third way of doing it, but I'm not sure what's left. Well, I know one thing: Not replying at all. That's quick and easy and doesn't annoy anyone. I think I'll go with that until I find something better.

I guess I totally misunderstood what's ”plain text”. I thought it was the same as ”not formatted” text. Only enter text, not formatted in any way. Everything I type is plain UTF-8 text, which is 8 bits in the most common cases, but a lot of characters requires two or even three bytes. Are you really suggesting to use 7-bit text? In that case you can only write in English, so what about when I write to the LibreOffice mailing list in my language? Three of our letters in our alphabet doesn't exist in 7-bit text, and they are VERY commonly used in my language. And with 7 bits none of the eastern Asian countries, like China, Japan and more, could write to a mailing list. For me it is UTF-8 or nothing, so I guess I just have to unsubscribe to all mailing lists then. Well, I could do that. It might actually be a very good idea; I might even get some real things done. > With Plain Text, you don't get the Unicode or Mime problems that go along > with 8-bit e-mails. I don't know what ”Mime” is, but so far I never saw any Unicode problems, at least not more than there seems to be some really old stuff out there that doesn't support it, but that's not my problem anyway, it's theirs. > > HTH, > > Twayne` I don't know what HTH is, but I could look it up.
