oops didnt see that..

Pretty useless to reply to such post when you break threading entirely. Only through reordering by author and by date and figuring out what your previous post said I've got an idea what you're meaning to say with this answer.

We are supposed to blame Liberate TVMail 2.6 for all the bad practices of Hell.Surfers. It isn't his fault he uses a product that breaks threads, replies by attachment nor the fact that he doesn't press the carriage return (enter key). After all this way he can read his email on TV while reclining on plush cushions.
</sarcasm>

Actually i had no trouble telling that it was Alan he quoted. If you turn off header filtering you will see that the complete mail header (including delivery routing info) is included in the attachment.

Yes. The output of your mail program is so bad that I'm seriously pondering killfiling all of cwctv.net, preferably at the SMTP level.

However bad the output of his mail program is, what is even more irritating is the constant discussion of it on this list.

Dean, couldn't you just delete the superflous headers that it generates when you reply? I don't personally care about the quoting style.

Please, everybody, read the FAQ. This is supposed to be a technical discussion list. The odd funny comment, or discussion related to kernel development is appropriate, but flamewars about Bitkeeper licensing, or the mail application that somebody uses are not.

Please _don't_ post to the list just to get 'street cred', and make yourself look like a 1337 k3rn37 h@x0r. It doesn't.

For example, I take the time to mail people who send a vague bug report to the list and don't direct it to a particular developer, to tell them:

* Who they should address it to
* What info they should include

I _don't_ CC the list on every one of them, just so that people will think, "Aha! John is cool.".

John.
