All:
Here is the first edition of the List Rules.
The first thing is that I, like you, are a regular member of the list but have read through many messages about 'netequitte' within this list.
Just a couple of hints:
1. Set your mailer to send only plain text messages to the list. HTML mail does not work well, is blocked by some of our list members, and sadly wastes bandwidth. Also, some members, like myself, disabled display of HTML mail because they can be used for spam detectors and can send malware code.
2. Place your replies at the bottom of messages. This is an old method used for many years. Preface any text to be replied to with a character, most folks use a greater than sign '>' but any special printable character will suffice.
3. Search the list archives before posting a question. Many topics have been discussed extensively in prior messages. Also, please read through the Release Notes for Fedora Core. There are major changes with this release, including making Secure Linux (SELinux) a default.
4. Placing two dashes and a space between message content and your signature, will in most cases, result in automatic cutoff of your signature when your messages are replied to. Please note: Some mailers will not display any content to include this line and any lines below it.
5. To unsubscibe from the list you can visit the Fedora Mail List web page at http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
6. Please contact me directly with suggestions and comments.
