Re: [Gusdev-gusdev] mailing list protocol?

[Steve F. <st...@pc...>]

I have another suggestion to add:

that we always add our reponse to the top of the message, and never cut 
out parts of it.  ie, that going to any individual mail in the thread 
contains the entire thread up till that point.  otherwise, it is a pain 
to go searching for the parts of the thread that have been cut out.
