[gentoo-user] How email should be done and my rant why

[Phil Sexton]

Hey Gentoolisters,

Please take pity on an old geezer with cataracts in both eyes at 
the moment.

There has recently been replies with several in depth replies 
which had nothing to do with the reply part
(thank you for bottom posting, BTW).

Some persons as well manage to decrease my fonts which I can 
read to a size where I have to reach for a magnifying glass or 
two to be able to read it.

There are others who manage to change background and text colors.

Hi volume lists need some trimming in order to make finding 
information by searching the list first much easier as the false 
hits are greatly reduced.

Style does have effects on substance, much better signal to 
noise ratio if these simple guidelines are followed.

Here is a good description of how email should be done:

Or, am I going to have to go back to running mutt, clamav, 
spamassin. procmail and elinks again?

Now what was that reason that I decided upon to try out the GUI 
stuff?

I guess I better go back to the best trained dog I have ever seen.

I want it MY way, darn it!
