while we're all whinging, please can I whinge about thead hijacking where people start a new discussion by clicking "reply" and then editing the subject. *** why not? when the thread is hijacked it means the new discussion gets mixed in with the old one, which... 1/ can disrupt the original "conversation" which annoys people 2/ means that the new "conversation" won't get as much attention since people not interested in the old conversation will be deleting any follow-up messages 3/ it's bad etiquette (i.e. bad manners) ** how does it work? there are hidden fields in an email which allow the emails forming the discussion "thread" to be kept together to make reading them more logical. a good email reader understands threading and will make following the mailing list a lot easier. googlemail does this very well automatically. thunderbird does too - change view to "threaded" or click the funny "t" symbol in the message header window. Ok, I just hijacked the original thread :-) but sometimes it is actually valid. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
