1.7.1.1. Guidelines for Using the Mailing Lists
Please don't post mail messages from your browser with HTML mode
turned on. Many users don't read mail with a browser.
When you answer a question sent to a mailing list, if you
consider your answer to have broad interest, you may want to
post it to the list instead of replying directly to the
individual who asked. Try to make your answer general enough
that people other than the original poster may benefit from it.
When you post to the list, please make sure that your answer is
not a duplication of a previous answer.
Try to summarize the essential part of the question in your
reply. Don't feel obliged to quote the entire original message.
When answers are sent to you individually and not to the mailing
list, it is considered good etiquette to summarize the answers
and send the summary to the mailing list so that others may have
the benefit of responses you received that helped you solve your
problem.
