Several of us are moderators of this list. As such, it's part of our function to encourage people to keep to the accepted standards and practices. The only way to do that, other than outright banning which we really don't want to do, is with the occasional reminder, which is most often used for people who may be new to the list and unfamiliar with those practices. I make no apology for this. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
