I think that depends upon the individual.

Are smart phone mail GUIs buggy/broken? Do they show you that there are N more messages in this thread before you get a chance to respond? Maybe we need to beat on people with phones and get them to wait until they get home to a real mail system before they respond to anything that will go to a large list. How about politely rejecting anything that includes "Sent from my xxxx" unless there is a magic word in the Subject? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
