[tlug] Re receipt requests on mails sent through TLUG

["Douglas Steele" <douglas@example.com>]

I tried sending this directly to Martin but it bounced so I'll send it
through the list (just in case it applies to anyone else).

Martin, please don't have your email client request delivery receipts on
email sent to a list!  I think they are intrusive and dubious even on one to
one emails and there is even less reason to use them on emails sent to
public lists.  They are potentially harmful to the list because the
irritation factor can cause subscribers to leave.

If this isn't something you are doing intentionally, consider this a heads
up that your email client is doing something buggy.


Regards,

  Douglas

Thanks Ulrich.
You know, in my lab they forced me to use InDesign because they bought the
Japanese version (Ofcourse).
But I had to download the english one for my own, crack it and install it,
whit the date changed because it has a password
that works only until sometime, and I forgot to change the date again.
I forgot to mention that if you have to work in a place were everything is
decided by others,
and as you are different, you have a non saint OS different from MAC,
you also have as a result a lot of problems!!!!

OEoeoeoe. Don't let this become a habit. Tell your Linux PC to get well
soon. Jonathan, if you're reading this, it's all your fault, there are
people on this list actually scared using anything non-RFC2015-compliant
now... :-)

By the way, I couldn't possibly care less because my shiny new mail
client displays messages according to their relative position in a
thread, but Martin, you should know that your PC is five months off
today's real date...

Ciao for now
