Okay, if I find some time to feed my curiosity I will search why I would have done this, I'm pretty sure there was a reason, I wouldn't have done this without. ;-) Greets Alex -- »With the first link, the chain is forged.

Now that's bloat! email should be text, full stop.

Welcome to the 21st Century. ...the same argument applies for HTML mail, even mixed/alternative mail with plain text and html. I'm repeating myself, but... HTML provides much nicer means of formatting your mail for things like emphasis, etc. than plain text--typesetting has been used as a way to convey additional meaning (e.g. tone, emphasis, etc.) for CENTURIES, and the fact that plain text can not adequately render such formatting is, in my mind, unquestionably a flaw. It's true that many (if not most) HTML-capable clients also add a bunch of unnecessary junk to the message, but that is not the fault of HTML mail per se. And it's certainly the case that what I want does not require a full HTML engine to render it, but HTML is the mechanism by which the masses (or the vendors who sell software to them) have agreed to provide that functionality. We, the console-using mail readers of today, should get over this prejudice, IMNSHO, and treat HTML mail as the first class citizen of electronic communications that it IN FACT IS. > Signing an email with PGP/gnupg doesn't begin to reach the level of > "bloat" with what we have to work with now. Agreed, and I also would prefer that everyone would encrypt their mail all the time. That probably doesn't make much sense for a public mailing list though. Still, I agree with your reasons for signing your messages, and I have an additional one of my own: Since I post from an e-mail address which does not deliver mail to me, it provides motivated senders a way to get mail to me using an address which will. -- Derek D.

Your keyboard has no "buttons"? then how do you use it for typing? Sure, we usually call them "keys" on a keyboard, but they are indeed (and perhaps even more appropriately called) buttons. -- Derek D.

message preview snippets in subject line?
Hi, I am getting more and more emails without a meaningful subject so something like googe-mail one line preview would be great. Any way to do it? Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers
