Waisting energy is becoming a big health problem, at least hear in the U.S.A.
Please notice that I did not say that, but Hartmut Meyer, who I believe to be a SuSE employee.
I was making fun out of a typo: "wasting" vs. "waisting" ... "waisting energy" ... "putting energy [stores] on your waist" ... "getting fat." I even added an analogous typo of my own: "hear" / "here".
Then, you should tell that to the person that said it, not to me; because you did not keep his name when you quoted his text. And, being this an international list, where not everybody's first language is English, understanding jokes is not so simple - even less if you don't use smileys to mark them.

The classic answer is that Mozilla is open source, so if you want a feature, the best way to bring it about is to dig in, write the code and contribute it to the project...
Oh, yea, I have nothing else to do but learn enough about mozilla internals to contribute programing to it... by the time I started to comprehend the current version, they would be around version 20.
Then just sit tight and wait for someone else to do it, but don't complain because no one takes the initiative to give you what you want.
I don't complain, I simply ask somebody that I think to be influential to use his influence. Do you think that is offensive? Because I think that telling me to go and do it myself is not very considerate.
Be serious!
That "classical answer" can only be given to somebody you know in advance that can contribute to a project programming for it. Unless you know that, it is just junk.
And Felix Miata just said the feature/bug is there, so I'll have to wait. Meanwhile, I can not use mozilla for this list - which is a pity.
There's absolutely no reason whatsoever you cannot use Mozilla's mail client with this list.
Except that it doesn't have a "reply to list" command. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
