- Please turn off HTML in your e-mail client for these mailing lists.
Yes, yes, yes.
- Please do not top post to the mailing list when replying to a post.
(See the Quoting Style link above, and use the Interleaved text method , deleting non-applicable text as required. If you need to reply to a message, and you do not need to post in interleaved mode, please bottom post instead of top posting.
Since this _is_ a text-only mailing list and your post was text only, there is no link. (Oops!) You have to post the URL itself.
- Please trim the extra stuff in the email and leave enough to make
sense of the thread.
In particular, please trim off the extra stuff at the bottom of your posts to which you are NOT responding. A lot of people, even not-so-newbies, miss this and leave a lot of useless excess at the end. Note that if you actually BOTTOM-post, this does not happen....
Thanks, Josh.
