However, if I were using gmail, then I would get first the direct copy, and the copy coming from the list would be considered as duplicate and removed by gmail. /That/ is indeed a problem for gmail users, because they may think that they got a private answer and not one on the list.
There are reasons I don't use gmail... gmail sorts your email how google sees fit and uses it for their purposes...I don't even keep my email on an ISP, but locally...(which has minuses as well as pluses). I sort mine how I see fit.
Thus, Linda, the polite thing to do in these lists is to send only a copy to the mail list. This is explained in the rules (they are published).
See previous email... I already know Anton is one step ahead of the game from his email addr. He's not clueless. I wouldn't dare go off on someone if they were... it would just be ....'wrong'...
Also, you are using obsolete mail software, Thunderbird/2.0.0.24. If you use instead a recent version you will see that there is a button to click that replies to the mail list, instead of using "reply to all". It is very easy.
---- Bah....I just got all it's quirks working again (windows had corrupted some db files) -- one of which is "Threadvis" -- which will stop working in TB3 or higher unless you have all your email cached locally. Ug... Just check on the site, and some people are having problems with it working with the latest versions as well... but starting in 3.x he relies on the all-content index kept by thunderbird on it's local store -- which is why they, by default, download all your IMAP mail into your local direct (on windows it's your "roaming user profile(!)"... where it gets uploaded and downloaded on logoff/on and adds bout 4-6G of size to your profile...)... Lame. I'm hoping to get 'X' to run faster and I can run more utils from my server (including tbird and ff).. though even there -- on the same damn server, tbird tries do download all the email from the IMAP server from my home directory into it's own private cache dir in my home dir!!!... ARG!!! ||:0<- banging head
It is your fault if you reply to all and do not delete the private copy, per the list rules. It is also your fault to not use current software with a reply to list button.
reply to list isn't a standard yet, so my emailer isn't really outdated, -- it just runs leaner.
So please, do not get angry if people tell you not to send double mails.
---- Did you really think my response was 'angry'?... I tried to lay enough clues... try mock indignation. It wasn't about me this time, was about someone else, so I felt more free to jump in and speak my mind in a way that I thought would be understood to be less that deadly serious. A calculated risk on the internet...but one I didn't think Anton would take personally. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
