The Guidelines are not meant to be a tutorial on how you should set up your specific mailer, but on what you should configure it to do. Ask for help if necessary. The above indented text is a quote from your message. All I did was select it and hit Reply in my mailer. The formatting was applied by the mailer automatically. This is the virtually universal way things are done on technical mailing lists, so if as you say elsewhere you have 20 years experience in IT but don't know about it I'm frankly astonished. You are certainly not the only person here using Gmail. I use it myself frequently. For mailing lists I tend to prefer Evolution but if away from my home system I'll use Gmail with no problem. The "so many rules" complaint is bizarre. These Guidelines are universal across all of the Fedora mailing lists, and are largely adapted from similar guidelines that exist elsewhere, usually with names like Netiquette or similar. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
