I was just wondering what happened to the netiquette that Phillip was talking about? There are a few items in that that seems necessary to point out every now and then.
Hi Anders, Though there might be some interesting things which all of us should better have a look at than just ignore them (see your quote below, I don't really like this unclean thread behaviour either ...), I disagree about a netiquette reminder. It is the fact that Nettiquette is more important than helping which made folks like Oli and me abandon our home country list and switch to the english one. So better not bring it up on this list, please.
PLEASE people: don't start a new thread by hitting reply to an old message and changing the subject! It fundamentally fscks up the mailer's threading. It makes it very difficult to search for old messages/threads. I'm left with my mailer's search function! Please!
If someone starts a new thread with replying to an old mail and changing the subject, we should kindly explain to this person, that this disturbs the threaded view which a good email client allows you to have. Maybe this person does not even know about threaded views.
regards Anders

Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@yahoo.com P.S.: What is in such a Nettiquette is either very basic and needn't be explained to a member of the human race _once_a_week_ from the very beginning (maybe some things once in life) or is kind of brainwash which we should refrain from (IMHO) P.P.S.: Someone got the office jet v series working??? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
