[asterisk-users] [OT] email netiquette (was: Re: Re: Asterisk realtime MySQL clients from same IP problem)

[Patrick Maartense]

Your right with this part 
But as I also have some knowldge on other parts but ms , *nix etc I know it is nowadays possible for almost every email client to correctly display html email. And be honest does it not read more easy if you have a nice font and some markup available?

I know mailman is an old package and should be more flexible in handling and distributing html email.

For standards: yes Ms is hardly compliant, but to bad they hardly care because the want to provide functionality towards their (paying) customers.

But as you said if 99% of the packages do it way A, then that way is defacto standard and the remaining 1% will have to adopt. 

Just my 2 satang.

I used to bash MS simply because it was MS, but I stopped wasting
my time. Now I bash not following email netiquette (RFC 1855 etc.)[1]
and in my experience 99 % of all mail produced by Outlook / Exchange
/ Lotus Notes fails to comply. Which leads me to bashing those mail
client because I know they are crap.  :-)

I know ... Don't take it too personal. (But I do, since I'm an
email fanatic. :-) Company policy does not count as an excuse,
although it's perfectly valid from the sender's perspective.

[1] Not just because standards are cool per se but because proper
quoting etc. is a time saver.

Unfortunately the majority of all people don't care. :-)
