This topic gets beaten on about every other month. I don't see why it matters how you send your message. This is not a news group. It may propagate but its not a news group.
Last time this happened for every 1 list mail for it I received 30 off list mails of people who could care less. So why people are afraid to say who cares I don't know. It is a pain in the ass to have to remember to change the way I send a message based on the fact its going to the group. My company uses outlook. Every other public forum I write to is all done like this. Outlook defaults to this. You would think that the world was going to end because somebody was upset they didn't get to scroll through 500 posts.

Yep. Microsoft email clients are similarly distinctive! It doesn't help that Unix pundits claim the email ground as their own, but I tend to agree with their conclusion: that bottom-posting is best but with ad-hoc formatting. I have taken to copying messages into my text editor as there is no email client that I know that can do what I want. Until I write it, that is :) Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
