Greetings,
Just a gentle reminder to those of you using the list Digest mode:
> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific
> than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-au digest..."
In other words, please replace the digest subject to something other
than what is there automatically when you hit 'reply'. It is common
courtesy to replace the default line with the subject as given for the
passage you're responding to in the "Today's Topics" list (including the
"Re:"). We request you do this so that our mailing list archives stay
intact.
Additionally, please delete the text bits that are not the particular
emails you're responding to. This will not only make it easier for us to
understand what you're responding to when we read your email, but you
will also be less likely to top post, which is likely to render your
comments confusing.
