FWIW once on another (non-technical) mailing list I trimmed the quoting in a reply such that the first line was quoted from a few mails back in the thread. Like this On <date> <guy1> said: |> Something <guy2> said I got a very angry reply from guy1 who wrote the mail I directly replied to saying he had never said the stuff I quoted and what was I trying to pull, I could ruin peoples' reputations like that, etc. Obviously I explained it was just trimming and the first line was autogenerated, but afterwards I thought that the auto reply string really is making a pretty uncertain assertion about what is actually quoted since I generally trim quoting pretty hard. I found I couldn't seem to turn it off in Thunderbird, so I changed it since then to only say what one can be pretty sure of in a reply... - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgtNSUACgkQOjLpvpq7dMo6gACdFYA1TS/RLG2ghy0yOHGjHNaS f8cAn2pWvt7cxDSLGu7GcrEpVtSQhbtv =AueC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
