Hi :) Again, not just 1 email client. It affects mine too and probably countless others too. I think being incompatible or awkward with other systems is very arrogant. We don't need to restrict people and tell them what they can and can't use. That sort of behaviour is exactly why i moved away from MicroSquish stuff. Regards from Tom :)

It strikes me, the problem isn't LibreOffice, it's Pegasus Mail. :-) Personally, I don't think it's LibreOffice's responsibility to address the shortcomings and limitations of other software products. Another point, if you shorten the name and start using acronyms, that could cause problems for new users finding it difficult to figure out what [lou] means. :-) -- Ken Mac OS X 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2 Thunderbird 6.0.2 LibreOffice 3.3.3 -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
