Most "business" mail runs something like this: -> hey, Dee.. got my fax? (Cc: my boss, her boss.. ) <- Yeah, got it.. Thanks! (Cc: same) Where I work, over 90% of the emails that I see are of this nature. There's no need for "context" whatsoever.. all parties know what the fax is about.. and since delivery is accompanied by a pop-up in the bottom right corner of the Microsoft Windows session of everyone concerned.. provided the sender _top-posted_ and was brief enough to accomodate the size limitations of the Microsoft Outlook pop-up.. the recipients of the e-mail won't even waste company time switching from their Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to their Microsoft Outlook mail readers and "opening" the e-mail. How these Microsoft-centric "methodologies" could benefit *nix mailing lists is beyond me. CJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
