straight up without having to scroll. So why does everyone on this

annoying.
This is bound to start a flame war but here goes:

Q: What is the most annoying thing on mail lists?
In the business world people are more concerned with blurting out an
answer rather than working to resolve a problem. I hate when I get
an email with a bazillion follow-ups. Reading the whole thing backwards
is Microsoft's way of doing things and I waste a lot of time doing
things their way (when I'm at work!). Oh, notice that I've cut out the
portions of this message that are not longer useful! This is called
netiquette we've been doing this before Microsoft had Windows and AOL
thought it was the net.
I've been warned about this. If I could retract my question. My
apologies for those that have seen this thread a million times before.
I'm way more interested in my dovecot question.
