According to Tariq Abbas on 4/19/2006 4:15 AM: > HELP Yeah - when you changed the subject line, you dropped the In-Reply-To headers, so at least you didn't commandeer a thread. However, since you included the full text of a message from another thread, I suspect that it is really a case of you having a bad mail client that doesn't know how to respect In-Reply-To headers, and that had you used a real email client, you probably would have violated this rule too. > > I really want to unsubscribe to this message group. Can someone please > advise.... Ouch - you didn't read the list FAQ at http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq, including question 6 "Unsubscribing, I'm desparate". Otherwise you wouldn't have sent your unsubscribe request to the list. > ... > > "This message is for the named person's use only. It may contain > confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information. Ouch - you included an unenforceable piece of legalese trash at the botton of your message. This list is publicly archived, so any message sent here is automatically world-readable, contrary to any claim in your footer. It is good netiquette to set up a webmail account that does not impose stupid footers when posting to a public list, if your place of employment is so bold as to attach a footer in your behalf. > No > confidentiality or privilege is waived or lost by erroneous > transmission.
