Dear fellow Omnis (list)users,
In the last week I noticed that many new posts have been started by
replying to a post and just changing the Subject.
For users using a mail client which is relying on the thread-ID’s to
sort out the thread-order ( ex: MailMate ) this leads to reaaaally long
threads and confusion, CONFUSION, . . . ( didn’t I see a mail about ,
. . . )
example: An’s - Omnis 8.1.3 64bit with Frontbasedam has been forked
for at least 13 subjects 69 mails ( an evil laughter emerges from the
darkside of the list ) and counting.
For those having problems remembering the lists mail address ( like
myself ):
"omnisdev-en at lists.omnis-dev.com”
OR: click > mailto:omnisdev-en at lists.omnis-dev.com
OR ... you can simply copy it from a posting ;-) and past it in my NEW
mail !!! ( quite high tech isn’t it :-) )
I feel this will not only help us, list readers, to better
follow/respond to the messages, but also improve the quality of our so
beloved list-archive and contain the darkside.
For those interested on learning more on “thread-ID”: I refer to
post with subject: OT Omni-li(s)t-iquette - new post to the list
Many thanks in advance,
Marc
PS: @ the LIST-MOMS: what about to put a
“start_a_new_thread_mail_to”-link ( like the above mail_to ) at the
bottom of each post.
a overhead which makes life sooooo much easier
