Hi everyone,
Just a quick reminder on some mailing list posting etiquette..
Please trim your replies so that they only include the previous
and relevant content for your reply. Including the entire content of the
message over and over again not only adds to the unnecessary message size,
but can make list searching much more bloated then it needs to be.
When posting or asking about a /new/ topic, please start by composing a
new message so that the topic threading of the archive is maintained.
See the example of topic threading in this month's archive:
http://mailman.real-time.com/pipermail/crossfire/2005-October/thread.html
Please do not post in HTML format. Many mailing list recipients have
filters in place to reject these messages, which I then have to deal with
through Mailman. Plus, it often makes a visual mess in the list archive
(not to mention the security concerns with html based email.)
For those interested in further reading,

Thank you.
