    Yes.

    And how many "works for me" are expected?


    Please make that a retoric question and check your configuration.
    That includes making sure to be subscribed.

    Nevemind. You don't have to be subscribed to post to the VoIP packaging
    list. That is my issue. So never got that reply.

    Will subscribe.

    OK, do.

    Done. Thanks for the reminder!

    Please also be aware of this 1-to-N communication.

    Which is the nature of mailing lists, yep.

    That we don't know how large N is.
    We can safely assume that the N recievers are in different time zones
    and that their time is as valuable as our time is.

    Agreed.

    So:
    * Make it possible that emails can be skipped (huge time saver)
    * Have Subject: lines that do match message body

    I note you favour new threads with better subjects :-)

    * Provide context, don't not delete too much

    I've always been in favour of inline replies, but understood.

    * Choose good messages above many messages

    Thanks!
