[opensuse] off-list replies
I've had enough of this list, I really do not like off-list replies to my attempts to help people. They are bad because 1. It breaks filtering (the list-id header is present in mail from the list and it's sensible to use it to filter email). 2. Other people can't see my errors and correct them. I'm not perfect. 3. Other people can't see corrections to my errors and learn from them. 4. Off-list replies don't get archived. 5. It breaks threading. I like email one topic to be grouped into one thread. Since most email clients support this feature, I suspect others value it too. I equate off-list with spam, and unless I specifically give you permission to email me, you don't have the right. Now, I do make some exceptions. For example, if I make a little joke about the Poms' cricket prowess, and someone wants to send me a good-natured rejoinder, it's probably best off-list. -- Grump!

You're right, of course, and that goes for thread hijacking, top posting, indiscriminate quoting and a host of other inconsiderate practices. People are rude, thoughtless and inconsiderate. What are you going to do? Withdraw from society?

I sympathise, but this may not be entirely the person sending the replys fault, hitting reply on my copy of Thunderbird will send directly to the original sender not to the list itself. (I dunno if this case with other mail clients). A ReplyTo field should ideally be set to the list address, but this does get not set. (Coming to think about it I seem to remember TBird having a reply to mail-list option at one time). I find myself having to reply to all and edit the recipient out. Got caught out a couple of times early on with this 'feature'. BTW: As a dejected England fan my only rejoinder would have to be "What prowess" :'(

Quite. I frequently accidentally email people off-list due to the reply-to being not set to the list. Which I expect may be responsible for most of the off-list emailing. Default reply for many email clients is to reply off-list.

According to RFC 822 (4.4.3/4.4.4) the ReplyTo field is supposed to override the From field for the purposes of replying to a message.

I think the above Headers are non-standard so I would not expect all mail clients to support them (in fact my copy of TBird does not even report them).... but I am not certain... there is a RFC containing a description of non-standard headers not included in the standard header RFCs, cant remember number at moment...

He thinks it is ridiculous to consider private emails as spam, I understand. It may be a nuisance, but not that much. My filters are clever enough to separate list replies, CCs, and directs.

Most of them are simply mistakes. The fact is that many mail clients are not list aware and friendly - not even Pine - thus people may get confused at first and email direct by accident. Then, they revert to reply to all, which is another nuisance, but not a big one.

It's no official plugin since it doesn't work out of the box. It depends on another extension and a code modification in Thunderbird. Both requirements are met with SUSE's Thunderbird since it includes the code modification and contains enigmail prepackaged.

I'm obviously having a bad day :( When I do Tools -> Extensions in TBird, it opens a dialog and I click on the "Get more extensions" link: but this opens FF, so when I find the extension I want, it tries to install it in FF, which is not what I want, and doesn't work anyway.

I click on the link and it tries to install it. I save the link address and it does the same. How can I get it to download the file and not try to install the *@!* thing?
Believe me, if I could find a way to download it into my folder at /home/peter/downloads/thunderbird I would do just that.

I'm sure that Firefox should be able to save the link, but if does not (because of setting or so), try either wget or curl from commandline. Or use DownThemAll extension.

(Though for some reason it is not seem to be an official Thunderbird plugin, I found it at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/attachments/replytolist-0.2.0.xpi if anyones interested).
Doesn't work for me. "Not compatible with Firefox", when I try to install it.
You should not *install* it in Firefox, but *save* it somewhere. (I have a directory "downloads" for this type of thing). Then in TB click Tools>Extensions>install. It opens up a file dialogbox where you can click on the file just saved. bingo, it installs *in TB* this time.

Correct. Definitely take the openSUSE packages of Thunderbird, they
already include the required patch.
Additionally, you must also install the extension (but as said, it also
requires the patch).

They are bad because 1. It breaks filtering (the list-id header is present in mail from the list and it's sensible to use it to filter email). 2. Other people can't see my errors and correct them. I'm not perfect. 3. Other people can't see corrections to my errors and learn from them. 4. Off-list replies don't get archived. 5. It breaks threading. I like email one topic to be grouped into one thread. Since most email clients support this feature, I suspect others value it too.
Quite.
I frequently accidentally email people off-list due to the reply-to being not set to the list. Which I expect may be responsible for most of the off-list emailing. Default reply for many email clients is to reply off-list.
I have argued with many people regarding misconfigured lists over the years, and almost invariably they say "standards," while ignoring the paucity of email clients conforming to those "standards," often despite the fact that the list is hosted, as here, by the vendor who provides the software. I use several distros, and for reasons unrelated to this list, I'll shortly be removing this one. The main reason I chose opensuse 10.2 was the notion it comes with support for my Atheros wireless in my laptop; as that's no longer the case I plan to switch to something else, and live with the need to fiddle with wireless.
I equate off-list with spam, and unless I specifically give you permission to email me, you don't have the right.
This is rediculous.
Not so ridiculous as you mailing to me off-list as you highlighted a reason for the problem.

Solicited email is not spam. As I said, every mail client I use (4) will reply to the sender, because the list sets the reply-to to the sender. Using alternative clients is not an option, and if people really don't like replies in this way I'll have to stop helping people on the list until the reply-to is changed back to the list. _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Do I understand you to be saying that just the fan cycles on and off, or is it the whole system? On one system I'm familiar with, a similar symptom (except that it doesn't go on forever) occurs when one configures overclocking parameters (CPU or RAM timings, multipliers or clock speeds) that don't permit even a some system operation. When such a circumstance is detected, the BIOS performs a momentary power-down and then restarts with default speed and timing parameters so you can go in an change your too-aggressive chipping. Could this be related to what you're seeing? By the way, you say there's no error beeps. Perhaps this board has a numeric on-board error condition indicator (typically a two-digit, seven-segment LED display)? If so, did you check the code it shows?

Many thanks to you, Wolfgang, and everyone else for helping me get it sorted.

Ysgrifennodd Wolfgang Rosenauer:
You state that you are using SUSE but you don't use SUSE's Thunderbird since you wouldn't need to install enigmail as it's already preinstalled in those builds. As stated often enough this extension doesn't work w/o a modification to the thunderbird source code.

Ah! I've just twigged to what you're getting at. You may be right. I may have downloaded TB from Moz to get a later version at some stage. So you're probably correct. It's working now, though, so all's well that ends well and all that.

This comes about about once a year on almost every list I am on [the debate about Reply-To headers]; it is really annoying. The *ONLY* relevant person/people to discuss this with is the list maintainers. Look up the maintainers address(es) and bother them.
In my experience, they mostly ignore the views of one person. Presumably, if approached by several then they might listen. Especially, in this case, it's someone from Novell or SUSE. Pointing to this thread might help.
John, there was something like year ago long debate with voting at the end and present status won. The idea was not to support "broken" clients, which in Thunderbird case means some more time waiting for reply to list feature to be included. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Even if it was said already a hundred times. This does _NOT_ work with other Thunderbird versions as the SUSE provided ones. Since your user-agent says ...Windows... I assume you are not using a SUSE provided Thunderbird.

I don't recall seeing that mentioned before. And yes, this is a Windows computer. I'm at work right now.
I and others have said that in this very thread. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

As I said, every mail client I use (4) will reply to the sender, because the list sets the reply-to to the sender. Using alternative clients is not an option, and if people really don't like replies in this way I'll have to stop helping people on the list until the reply-to is changed back to the list.
It never was and never will be, so that willbe good by for you, I suppose. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

You're right, of course, and that goes for thread hijacking, top posting, indiscriminate quoting and a host of other inconsiderate practices.
People are rude, thoughtless and inconsiderate. What are you going to do? Withdraw from society? Assholes are assholes, trying to educate them is a waste of time and effort. Which basically means, that if you are a man of moral principles, you have only one

It's usually a rather fruitless activity, but necessary none-the-less, one does not fix ones behaviour if one is unaware that it is wrong, and had it pointed out in a due manner.
Which basically means, that if you are a man of moral principles, you have only one option in the matter ... withdrawal into seclusion.
I tend to disagree, having moral principles can very well mean that one has also developed a sense that others may or may not share said principles, which means you do not have to withdraw into seclusion, but you do have to live with those who do not share your views, preferably in an amicable way. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
