Re: list etiquette (was Re: Tailoring of normalization
Guys, fair enough. I thought the semi-serious name would have been indication enough for someone to hit the delete key and remove the name, but I guess not. I'll probably hear from a Mr. Max Delete from the Exchange next wanting to know why I instigated this. Reminds me of the story of the support call for the instructions that said insert disk1. insert disk2 when prompted. insert disk 3 when prompted. and the caller only inserted and never removed the previous disks... ;-) I should have stopped at There probably isn't a one-size fits all solution. tex Curtis Clark wrote: Lars Marius Garshol wrote: * Tex Texin | | There probably isn't a one-size fits all solution, short of those | not wanting a response changing their reply-to address to | [EMAIL PROTECTED].

* [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Please forgive me and others who are on similar set-ups if this is | all just too much of a pain! It is hard for people to avoid giving others two copies of replies to on-list messages. In my case I've solved this, since my email client (Gnus) detects duplicate messages (based on message ID) and inserts a warning field. I filter messages which have this into my Spam box. Problem solved. -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian URL: http://www.ontopia.net GSM: +47 98 21 55 50 URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no
Re: list etiquette (was Re: Tailoring of normalization
I don't know about others, but my filters place messages in different folders, EXCEPT when my name is on the cc or to list. In that case, the message is left in my inbox for more immediate review and possible response. The Unicode lists are also slow to send mail so there can be a significant delay (an hour or more at times). Having the name on the mail can speed responses, although its perhaps unjust to people not named on the to-list. There probably isn't a one-size fits all solution, short of those not wanting a response changing their reply-to address to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. tex [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 02/04/2003 10:58:54 AM Rick McGowan wrote: (Number one: Please don't CC me on this discusion.

Here's how it works on ATT Net Mail: I click on reply to your message, I get a compose message screen with the To: field filled in with your name and e-mail address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I want my reply to go to the list, I have to then click a button labelled Cc: to all. Now I've got a compose screen addressed to Peter with a cc: to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The next step is to select the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address in the Cc: field, and cut/paste it into the To: field, overwriting your address. Please forgive me and others who are on similar set-ups if this is all just too much of a pain! Also, since there is often up to an hour's delay in messages sent to the list being disseminated, some of us *do* find it helpful to get immediate copies of letters in threads with which we are involved.
