I agree with Pete. Internet mail, at minimum, means ALL mail outside your localhost or LAN. In that context, it may simply be a synonym for what we have come to call email.
Outside of work, we send a lot of mail to friends and family that has nothing to do with a list. Moreover, the architect/client conversations you use in your example is not "internal" unless the clients of the architects are co-workers on the sam LAN. -- Art Alexion MIS/Central Office Support Resources for Human Development ----- Original Message ----- From: evolution-list-boun...@gnome.org <evolution-list-boun...@gnome.org> To: evolution-list@gnome.org <evolution-list@gnome.org> Sent: Tue Feb 24 05:17:18 2009 Subject: Re: [Evolution] Evo 2.24.3 bug list, by personal priority. > > ... in other words, the RFC itself says that if the separator exists you > should honour it, and it's saying that it's a convention for usenet and > Internet mail, but at no point does it say that it applies to all > private internal communications and that you must use it for all > signatures in private internal communications.

I don't think I agree that "Internet mail" is just mailing lists - most, if not all, the mail I send and receive is "Internet mail" - not everyone works in a corporate environment you know! There's things like personal mail, academic communities, developer/FOSS communities and so on. BTW - much as I hate to point out a way around inserting the delimiter, you can do it using a script signature. Just remember that the script needs to output HTML even if you use plain text email - and please, start the script with "-- <br>".
