--------------------------- List Etiquette =========================== - Remove multiple "RE:" prefixes in subject lines
Good: RE: [php-list] Message Subject Bad: RE: RE: RE: [php-list] Message Subject - Make sure that the "RE" prefix is before the "[php-list]" prefix or some mail clients will screw up the subject Good: RE: [php-list] Message Subject Bad: [php-list] RE: Message Subject - Avoid other prefixes "[...]" in the subject, such as "[SPAM]" or "[OT]". Some people have filters set on various prefixes - if this is a problem, adjust your spam filter! Good: Message Subject OK: OT - Message Subject Bad: [SPAM] - Message Subject - Use subject lines that reflect your question or problem, not meaningless or vague subjects like "another problem" Good: $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] doesn't contain a value! Bad: I need help! - #### First quote, then answer below the quote. #### "Jeopardy"-style quoting (answer before the question) is confusing and difficult to read. You can even intersperse your answers between lines, but do so sparingly - Trim quotes down to the bare essential of the question - don't quote the entire message. In particular, remove signature lines and other effluvia, including mail client-added tag lines and advertising - If you have a new question, start a new, blank message and post it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do not use a reply to an old or existing message to post your question. - Don't send HTML messages. Period. Plain ASCII text is good enough, and smaller as well. Larger HTML-based messages drive up bandwidth costs. In addition, HTML-based emails can include potentially harmful code. - If you have problems setting up your mail software or you have other questions feel free to ask this list or the list owner ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). - TIP, select the "Traditional" email setting so that white space is preserved in posted code. =========================== Please help us keep this list neat and tidy!
