Why no signature? Or maybe you meant no sig _attachment_? > * Trim waffle from the message you are replying to.

Inter-posting (like this) is even better, but harder, and (I think) will not be enforced. > * Remove any email addresses (do not quote the email address of the > person to whom you are replying). Note that Bram always _adds_ the email address of the author of the mail to which he is replying to the To/CC headers, in addition to the mailing-list address, so I'm not convinced of the relevancy and applicability of this latest supposed norm. > > Thanks > John Oh, and by the way, John, you forgot one: DO NOT start a thread about a new subject by replying to an existing post. (The felony is done now, all I can do, I think, is to morph the subject.)
