Randall, After reviewing past and current posts to this list, a significant portion are about general Linux questions. Should we turn these posters away? I think we shouldn't, but you, possibly, hold a different opinion. The original post was about "ls". That was it. With all the general Linux non-Suse specific questions that are posted here, I thought he deserved a useable answer. Hopefully, he got it. Hopefully, again, he may go out and buy a Suse box set because he had such great experience on this list. Who knows.
May I ask why your mailer doesn't preserve thread links?
Yes, you may ask. Unfortunately, I don't know why. Should I provide you with more info without fear of getting flamed? I'll give it a shot. We use Exchange. Why Microsoft doesn't comply with mail standards, I don't know. I hate it. Don't ask me to change company policy either. It isn't going to happen. If you want, let's take the rest of this dialogue off list so we can spare the list of any more of this 'tit for tat' banter. ~James
