Replies are appearing all over the place (top/bottom/middle) making it impossible to follow threads sometimes. My I ask that everyone make a concerted effort to "bottom post" when they reply to messages.
Let's at least see if it helps. It may be as I fear that some people have devices or email software that makes bottom posting hard/impossible.

I need to set up my own mail server and go back to using elm. ;-)

You can also write a new message with the same subject, paste a snippet from the previous message, and post your reply below it. I sometimes add little > characters to the first character of each paragraph to help keep things together. I just copy and pasted your reply from the top to the middle of this email. I underlying point is that you're going to quickly find bottom posting is very inconvenient for many people, your example included...but then what are we going to do? If we're going to use mailman then each of us will have to find a way to bottom post without throwing the entire message and footers into the email each time. -- Bill
