Re: Quoting Style Re: Installing mysqldump
Sorry, Ethan. I don't normally keep doing this. :-(
Sent to list where it should have been in the first place.

Ouch! No!!! Klaus explained to you how to do it at 11:12:51 today. *Please*
read, mark, learn and inwardly digest. This is *awful.* Klaus has just
tried again to tell you, at 22:22:08. Please read it. I repeat, this is
completely unreadable. (Literally. I gave up trying to read it.) If
Icedove were set up correctly, you would also stop breaking threads.
You *must* be able to see that everyone else does it differently from you.
Just set your email client up correctly. You don't need to do anything else,
except trim appropriately. My email client, KMail 1.9.10, also has a setting
for telling it if a folder contains a mailing list. Icedove/Thunderbird may
have something similar.
