If either you or he, had read what had aleardy passed in the thread,
you and he would have seen that the matter had been dealt with,
resulting in my making a request for change, to the people maintaining
PINE/ALPINE, to allow the option of replying to a list, using the
List-Post field value in message headers, which solution had been
included in the previous postings in the thread. I had not previously
been aware of RFC2369, and so, the thread, with its responses before
the trolls, had been constructive and educational, which, I believe is
supposed to be the purpose of this mailing list.
Gmail appears to not have provision for making Requests For Change,
regarding the Gmail email facility, so I appear to not be able to make
a Request For Change, to the Gmail people, which could solve the
problem in using Gmail..
I had posted what I had posted, regarding the abillity to reply to the
list, solution had been posted and demonstrated, and, the matter had
(I believe) been closed, insofar as the thread on this list, had been
concerned.
The subsequent messages posted by
<bob@proulx.com>
<tomh0665@gmail.com>
<lazyvirus@gmx.com>
were inflammatory, and, posted for the purpose of being inflammatory,
making them trolls.
The thread had come to an end; it had the solution, and, the thread
had died, and those people revived it, to create a zombie for evil
purposes.
