David, as many have pointed out, it all depends on the mailer that you use, Some adhere to rules, some don't. Of course you have all the right in the world to use any mailer you want, including Outlook. I personally use mutt, which gives me no trouble with 'L'. I haven't used Outlook for so long now, that I have no idea what should be done there. But some solution must be somewhere for its users. I personally don't care much about this issue, since from mutt I can always solve the problem in my debian box (may be some recipe). For now at least I would keep the things the way they are. What I find outlandish is the deadline for the vote, I would say that first all or most would have to agree to consider the matter, including may be the list master him/her self. And then some deadline could come up, if decided the discussion to take place. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
