Maybe something in the list guidelines should be added requiring all users of Outlook Express to install and use OE Quotefix (available at http://www.jump.to/oe-quotefix/) and the ISO8859-6 patch for OE available at the same site (to prevent OE's irritating habit of mangling sig delimiters). That, along with OE6, makes a very satisfactory mailer indeed, especially with all fonts set to Andale Mono (one of the better monospace fonts around). Then set your security restictions properly ... put OE into the "Restricted Sites" zone (default with OE6). Threading is the only thing left ... if that gets implemented, OE6 + OE-Quotefix does work very well indeed. > c) Top-posting: The reply was top-posted.

OE Quotefix does that for you as well :) > d) Non-exclusion of redundants: Exclude redundant stuff like > signatures and irrelavant portions of text.

Cut, copy, paste does that. --srs ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
