Re: [Evolution] Evolution on 64 bits Linux system

Hi :)
Look, this whole argument is tired.  This list clearly wants to make it difficult for people to join in.  It doesn't want to deal with people that might have just 1 or 2 questions.  It's quite happy restricting itself to the shrinking pool of people that know of bottom-posting because that is such an important rule to follow that it is worth killing off Evo for. 
Regards from
Tom :)

No hit, when searching for  outlook express mailing lists  and a forum
isn't a mailing list.

If you want to troubleshoot, than bottom posting and cutting quotes, at
least removing signatures, does help to track down an issue. It's not a
business correspondence and btw. even for business correspondences it is
more useful to bottom post or to do it the way it is done for snail
mail, "your reference", "our reference". FWIW the reference, aka thread,
automatically is included to an email, e.g.
In-Reply-To: [snip]
References: [snip] The references seem to make the mail look like spam,
so I removed them.

It makes me wonder that companies often send a correspondence of 10
emails including 6 signatures with all the names of the executive board
by one mail. Nobody does this by snail mail. They should have the
complete correspondence available on their servers. When it comes to
collect data by the 10 trackers on their homepages they are able to
store the data, so it should be possible to store the mails too.

Endless line: I'm not an Internet expert myself. I've got knowledge about audio production, I'm clueless about Internet rules. IMO there's nothing to learn, we've got references as we've got for snail mail, a logical order to understand content is a, b, c and not c, b, a and keep everything human readable when ever possible, avoid insane formatting.

What would happen if you would bottom post? Is it more time-consuming
for you? Should the users of the mailing lists you join spend their time
to puzzle through your emails?
