[SI-LIST] Re: sorting thru the junk mail

JaMi,

re: the list address not appearing first ...

What you described is what automatically happens with many e-mail programs
when clicking on the "Reply to All" button.  A simple "Reply" sends your
mail only to the sender, not to the list.  A "Reply All" includes the list
address, usually putting the originator's address first (the sender of the
message you are replying to, not your own address ... no ego involved!).

Perhaps it's Billy Gates you should be complaining to, for making his e-mail
programs behave that way.  Some non-Windoze mailers do it too.

My email program doesn't care about the order of addresses in the TO: or CC:
fields, for purposes of grouping them into folders.  Anyway, I identify and
group all SI list mail based on the "[SI-LIST]" in the subject.

In my opinion, a bigger problem on this list is when people don't edit out
unnecessary text from the message body, giving us replies that grow to 50K
bytes or more, 98% of which is waste.  (Um, I hate to say it, but you did
that.  Your message was 381 lines long, and included some 5 replies about
microstrip/stripline.  You're certainly not the only one guilty of that; at
least 3 of the other 5 did it.)

That probably makes reading the Digest versions rather painful too.

Regards,
Andy
