Could everyone calm down please? He has the right to use any hardware he wants, inferior hardware doesn't remove his right to complain. If you had read what he said, or if you did any effort to look at the screenshot properly, or to even understand the issue, you'd see he has a very reasonable request. He uses the newsgroup, *not the mailing list*. When using the newsgroup there is no reason for the tag at all, and it isn't shown on newsgroup messages, only on messages originating from the mailing list. So probably the tag should be stripped out when copying a mailing list message to the newsgroup. Does anyone know how to do this? I don't know Mailman, but if this process is programmed in Python, I could provide a patch. Please let me know if it would actually be used.
