[ubuntu-in] ubuntu-in Digest, Vol 46, Issue 22

Sat Dec 12 18:55:12 GMT 2009

Hi Ashish,

am top posting because this is not a reply to your mail.

Just had a suggestion since you are replying to a  ubuntu -in digest
which contains main mails it would be good
a.) if you changed the header to reflect what you are responding too
b.) post below the mail your are responding too (called bottom or
inline posting )
c.) delete the section you are not responding too so that what is
irrelevant to your mail need not add to the noise (unnecessary
content) on the list.

For your ref you whole mail is posted belwo
