Sorry Dhawal - no personal attacks allowed

[Marc Perkel <ma...@perkel.com>]

Well - if you don't like me then why don't you write a filter rule to 
delete message coming from me? I'm not going away so get used to it. If 
my threads weren't so damn interesting it wouldn't generate so much 
interest.

I think that your personal attack is not appropriate for this forum. 
This is a tech forum and there are lots of ideas that you aren't going 
to like. You're just going to have to get used to it.

For a minute there reading my mail this morning, I thought Thunderbird 
screwed up and put my qmail list mail in the SA folder.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.

You might want to read the list with a newsreader, through gmane. Then you 
just download the headers and pick and choose the bodies you want.

My practice is to use an IMAP mail server and do server-side filtering with 
procmail to separate per-list folders. My mail client (Mulberry) just 
fetches the headers and I only download the bodies I actually think might 
be interesting. (With IMAP, attachments are a separate download, so that 
also saves me time and bandwidth when reading mail with big attachments.)

Your complaint is off topic and it's a personal attack. So stop it.

How very thoughtful. I'd prefer we expect a bit of self restraint. I 
promise to do my homework before posting to the list, and not post about 
off topic or overly broad issues, since this is the Spam Assassin Users 
Discussion list.

The subject is clear.  If you notice a message you dont care about, 
filter them out by subject.

Marc,

It does get a bit old watching you light fires. The claims you make
about how this or that doesn't work (usually because you don't
understand it), and the overly broad "how are we gonna make a better
toaster?" questions really do increase the noise level quite a bit here.

Some people on this list have to pay per kb of bandwidth used.
