"- Send mail when an answer to a question is for one person only. Remember that News has global distribution and the whole world probably is NOT interested in a personal response. However, don't hesitate to post when something will be of general interest to the Newsgroup participants." Just replace "News" with Mailing List, and "mail" with personal mail, as this was crafted for long gone Usenet. But it's the same thing. Also of interest, and in the same line, is the "Me Too" advice just above this one. :) [1] https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt Paulo Rehman Abubakr < rehman.wikime...@live.com > escreveu no dia terça, 16/10/2018 à(s) 03:19: > Hello Pine, > > > Since we're on the topic of mailing list norms, may I also suggest that we > please do not copy the entire mailing list for any one-to-one well wishes > as well? > > > Example: "Congrats" messages to various topics like project completed, new > affiliate, edit count, or whatsoever.
