Hi Phil,
I appreciate your feedback on my posts, although I'm not quite sure what you're trying to tell me.
I don't read your posts, because (a) I don't trust attachments anyway, and
I use a digital signature to sign my Emails. That way, people can verify that the Email on this list are really mine. This is a common practice that many people exercise, some on this Mailing list (Raymond, DaB.), many more on other lists. It's completly secure, and if you don't wan't to verify my digital signature, just ignore the attachments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography
There *have* been instances where Emails with a faked address arrived on Wikipedia mailing lists (which is something quite easy to do). So it's not just a theoretical problem :)
(b) if you have anything worthwhile to say, and are competent at interacting on a mailing list, I see no reason why you should not be able to hit the "reply" button in your mail program, and it actually reaches its target.
I do. I use Thunderbird/3.1.13. My "in-reply-to" and "references" header field is set, so you should see my mails just normal in the conversation tree. What Email client are you using?
Regards, Tobias
