 WHERE2(Mailing List, "/mail/", Mailing List Etiquette)

 TITLE(Curl Mailing Etiquette)
-<a name="single"></a>
-<p>
- SUBTITLE(Do Not Mail a Single Individual)
-<p>
- Many people send one question to one person. One person gets many mails, and
- there is only one person who can give you a reply. The question may be
- something that other people are also wanting to ask. These other people have
- no way to read the reply, but to ask the one person the question. The one
- person consequently gets overloaded with mail.
-<p>
- If you <b>really</b> want to contact an individual and perhaps pay for his or
- her's services, by all means go ahead, but if it's just another curl
- question, take it to a suitable list instead.
-
-<a name="subscribe"></a>
-<p>
- SUBTITLE(Subscription Required)
-<p> All curl mailing lists require that you are subscribed to allow a mail to
- go through to all the subscribers.
-
-<p> If you post without being subscribed (or from a different mail address
- than the one you are subscribed with), your mail will simply be silently
- discarded. You <b>have to</b> subscribe first, then post.
-
-<p> The reason for this strict subscription policy is of course to stop spam
-from pestering the lists.
-
-<a name="reply"></a>
-<p>
- SUBTITLE(Reply or New Mail)
-<p>
- Please do not reply to an existing message as a short-cut to post a message
- to the lists. Many mail programs and web archivers use information within
- mails to keep them together as "threads", as collections of posts that
- discuss a certain subject. If you don't intend to reply on the same or
- similar subject, don't just hit reply on an existing mail and change subject,
- create a new mail.
-
-<a name="list"></a>
-<p>
- SUBTITLE(Reply to the List)
-<p>
- When replying to a message from the list, make sure that you do "group reply"
- or "reply to all", and not just reply to the author of the single mail you
- reply to.
-<p>
- We're actively discouraging replying back to the single person by setting the
- Reply-To: field in outgoing mails back to the mailing list address, making it
- harder for people to mail the author only by mistake.
-
-<a name="subject"></a>
-<p>
- SUBTITLE(Use a Sensible Subject)
-<p>
- Please use a subject of the mail that makes sense and that is related to the
- contents of your mail. It makes it a lot easier to find your mail afterwards
- and it makes it easier to track mail threads and topics.
-
-<a name="top-post"></a>
-<p>
- SUBTITLE(Do Not Top-Post)
-<p>
- If you reply to a message, don't use top-posting. Top-posting is when you
- write the new text at the top of a mail and you insert the previous quoted
- mail conversation below. It forces users to read the mail in a backwards
- order to properly understand it.
-
-<p>
- This is why top posting is so bad:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read
-    text.
- Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
- A: Top-posting.
- Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-<p>
- Apart from the screwed up read order (especially when mixed together in a
- thread when some responds doing the mandaded bottom-posting style), it also
- makes it impossible to quote only parts of the original mail.
-
-<p>
- When you reply to a mail. You let the mail client insert the previous mail
- quoted. Then you put the cursor on the <b>first</b> line of the mail and you
- move down through the mail, deleting all parts of the quotes that don't add
- context for your comments. When you want to add a comment you do so, inline,
- right after the quotes that relate to your comment. Then you continue
- downwards again.
-
-<p>
- When most of the quotes have been removed and you've added your own words,
- you're done!
-
-<a name="html"></a>
-<p>
- SUBTITLE(HTML is not for mails)
-<p>
- Please switch off those HTML encoded messages. You can mail all those funny
- mails to your friends. We speak plain text mails here.
-
-<a name="quote"></a>
-<p>
-SUBTITLE(Quoting)
-<p>
- <a href="http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html">How do I quote
- correctly</a>
-
-<a name="digest"></a>
-<p>
-SUBTITLE(Digest)
-<p>
- We allow subscribers to subscribe to the "digest" version of the mailing
- lists. A digest is a collection of mails lumped together in one single mail.
-<p>
- Should you decide to reply to a mail sent out as a digest, there are two
- things you MUST consider if you really really cannot subscribe normally
- instead:

-<ol>
-<li> cut off all mails and chatter that is not related to the mail you want to reply to.
-<li> change the subject name to something sensible and related to the subject, preferably even the actual
subject of the single mail you wanted to reply to
-</ol>
-
-<a name="tell"></a>
-<p>
- SUBTITLE(Please Tell Us How You Solved The Problem!)
-<p>
- Many people mail questions to the list, people spend some of their time and
- make an effort in providing good answers to these questions.
-<p> If you are the one who asks, please consider responding once more in case
- one of the hints was what solved your problems. The guys who write answers
- feel good to know that they provided a good answer and that you fixed the
- problem. Far too often, the person who asked the question is never heard of
- again, and we never get to know if he/she is gone because the problem was
- solved or perhaps because the problem was unsolvable!
-<p> Getting the solution posted also helps other users that experience the
- same problem(s). They get to see (possibly in the web archives) that the
- suggested fixes actually has helped at least one person.
