Hi Erik,

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. Will take care from now on.

But I still didn't understand why there is no disclaimer here, but its
there when I sent to I2C mailing list(sender is this ID for both).
Anyways, as you said best thing to use is webmail to avoid all these.


Thanks & Regards,
-- Srinivas R

Very probably, yes. Silly pseudo-legal disclaimers are being frowned
upon. Another way to make sure that your message won't be answered is to
use HTML mail like you did right now. For the linux-arm mailing lists
(which I happen to administrate), disclaimers and html are a sure way to
get your message rejected

Kernelnewbies doesn't have a filter, AFAIK. And your mail doesn't
contain a disclaimer.

Use a webmail address like Gmail.

Take it up with your manager and tell him you can't get your job done
because your exchange admin is too lazy to do his job.

The admin alone won't help you, the mailing list members also have to
cooperate. I for myself won't reply to mailing list messages with silly
pseudo-legal disclaimers.
