[ubuntu-art] Top-posting gmail users

You pretty much just move your cursor from where it starts to the bottom of the page. Worked that way last time I use gmail through the web anyway. I use Thunderbird now. I'm sure pretty regular web-gmail users could chime in. There should also be a way to remove the footer the list adds. (I wonder if we shouldn't just turn that off altogether?) -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

That will make it so you don't top post anymore. Smartboy -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I do think that we should turn the footer off. Furthermore, I think we should get rid of the [ubuntu-art] tag appended to the front of the emails and stop munging the reply-to header. http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful.html -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Also, when you subscribe to this list it gives you links on this subject. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art I'm pretty sure I didn't see anything when I subscribed to the list. There is definitely nothing on https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art, and definitely nothing in the 'Welcome to the ubuntu-art mailing list' email I received when I subscribed. Even if I'm wrong and the information is actually there, I can't really concede it was clear and obvious. Perhaps it's worth re-visiting the guidelines issue so that you don't have to put yourself out by telling people to RTFM constantly.
