[ubuntu-uk] Guidelines for the mailing list (and Reply-To munging)

[alan c]

Hi James
I think Gmail does not follow some standards anyway. It also makes it 
harder for a reply to be bottom posted, which causes difficulties in 
technical lists.(such as this).
It is worth the effort to find how to do what you actually wish, (and 
I encourage you to consider bottom posting).
