Well, we should have a short thing about this on the unofficial FAQ and that should be enough. Just one simple Question: How should I set up my post to this list, in order to get some attention and good answers. I'll write this yet today and send it to the list, so Togan can have a look at it and that should do the trick. Is that acceptable for everybody?
No brainwashing here. I just want my mail threads nicely organized.
Yes, me too. But note that this is thin ice. If something is just bullsh.. full of typos or five lines in one sentence with neither period nor comma, or three pages of five-level-old-quotes-mixture, I just delete it and do not make it a big issue how to avoid things like this.
replying by creating a new mail is also annoying, btw. It will create a new "root" and it just looks ugly!
Yes, of course. But don't forget that sometimes it doesn't work the other way. When I'm in office, I have to connect to mail.yahoo.com to write a message online, and I can only copy-paste the old mail into this new one, because the original mail was transferred from wolfi_z@yahoo.com to wolfgang.zerrmayr@at.siemens.de and is no longer present on the yahoo server.
