I recall from old Usenet days that it is often very useful to have a stock FAQ message that is posted from time to time (not more than monthly).
In the case of ooo-users, I suspect having it on a web/wiki page would also be a good idea. That could be linked in the e-mail addendums/signatures for responses to new/unsubscribed posters. The business about how to subscribe and see responses to a non-subscriber request is something that should have prominence in such a FAQ. Are there other tidbits that should be combined into a list FAQ (apart from some gentle etiquette suggestions)? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Hagar Delest [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, July 15, 2012 12:56 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Great E-mail addendum +1.
