However, I am not sure if we need to add the <name of previous poster>, because somebody will definitily loose the track, when replying to the post. For example in the thread XMen posted something. The last answer will be from Chewbacca. Then the Luke want to answer to XMen's post, however the template will looks like: Hi Chewbacca, ... Cheers, Luke So the XMen will be not happy about that because the post seems to go to him, but Chewbacca was who was greet by Luke. So, I think just hte neutral "Hi, " is already enough. I bet, that some of the users wouldn't be able even to fill out the template well, this is my experience. > > 2.

However, this will take some time to implement. Because I would like to remove the double quoted messages out of the reply message. So that we have only one level of depth in the quoted messages. This is still enough, I think. Otherwise the thread get polluted by quotes, which isn't really helping a lot. As to the use of names. I have first to implement something, that users can be suspended well. The current roblem is, if I suspend a user and he post something. Then the message for the mailing list is also generated and is just waiting to be sent. So if user have a name "Coca Cola" and has written something. Even if he change then the name when we inform him, the email will still contain the "Coca Cola" as authors name. This require also some time to be work well, hence be patient.
