Re: [Audacity-devel] Mailing list guidelines

[Steve t. F. <ste...@gm...>]

The way the mailing list has generally worked is for replies to quote
an appropriate amount of context from the previous post's. A "+1" in
isolation without context is not likely to be meaningful, but on the
other hand a "+1" in line with 30 previous messages can clearly be an
annoyance for recipients that have mail clients that do not hide or
collapse old posts.

I switched my e-mail client for this mailing list to GMail because it
aids readability of threaded discussions, but there is no requirement
for others to do this. Given that there are many e-mail clients with
different behaviours, I don't think that we need a formal ruling - we
just need a bit of care and consideration.
