In case of on-topic issues you would have a point. But this list is not 
meant to discuss the proper way of using mail clients. I quote: "About 
ubuntu-users:  This list is for Ubuntu user technical support. This is 
not a place for general discussions."

This clearly shows that emails about misbehaviour of posters should be 
kept off the list, in my humble opinion.
