Hello Jimmy,
It's great to see you so interested Haiku and being an active participant.
However, please, take the time to learn and practice the netiquette for our
mailing lists: http://www.haiku-os.org/community/ml/etiquette
I'm not sure what email client your mobile device uses, but you have been
top-posting most (or all) of your replies.
Maybe looking at the messages in plain text will illustrate what your
emails (and those from anyone else who top-posts) :
//www.freelists.org/post/haiku/Drag-and-Drop-icon,2
Here's an email that follows the netiquette e.g., it responds "inline" and
trims any unnecessary text (he even took the time to rearrange the text, to
make your reply inline) :
//www.freelists.org/post/haiku/Drag-and-Drop-icon,2
As to why such netiquette is necessary in online communities that rely on
email as the primary form of communication ... When other people are
reading emails (either in their inbox or through the web based archives),
having one person's reply directly underneath another person's message
makes it much easier to understand what the person is responding too.
Removing the unrelated text further improves the readability.
Thanks!
