Thanks for the RFC link. Unfortunately it's all in /permissive/ tones e.g. "This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind." and "This document provides a minimum set of guidelines for Network Etiquette (Netiquette) which organizations may take and adapt for their own use." rather than in standards tones, so Novell GroupWise confirms this RFC by ignoring it. *sigh*. Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (610)796-5838 >>> jkinz@xxxxxxxx 10/04/03 11:12PM >>> Its been documented many many times. Here is one official document which does a fair job at codifying the standard practices: RFC 1855 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html See section 3 on "One To Many Communication". That should cover what your looking for. Another which covers proper behavior in email lists is "The Unofficial RedHat Install List User's Guide" Available at: http://www.rhil.org/docs/rhil-guide.html > For example: http://learn.to/quote (click on "English") > > The average "Netiquette guidelines" cover proper quoting and replying. > Lack of netiquette is an increasing problem not just on these lists. Yup. > Michael, who doesn't reply to top posts and complete quotes anymore.
