&gt;<i> There should be a recurring reminder of the mailist and Gmane list rules.
</I>&gt;<i> There are many who are new to mailists and have never had the experience in

</I>&gt;<i> people top-post, quote whole passages etc. But we should be happy that there
</I>&gt;<i> is so much participation. It just means that we need to every now and then
</I>&gt;<i> send out a gentle reminder of the rules. I think that the &quot;Mailist etiquette
</I>&gt;<i> -- gentle reminder&quot; should be posted every now and then by the Mageia ML
</I>&gt;<i> maintainer just to add a little formality to the message.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Mailist etiquette:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> - English language only please on the mailist
</I>&gt;<i> - no top posting please
</I>&gt;<i> - when answering, please quote the relevant sentences that is being replied
</I>&gt;<i> - please do not break the threads. Do a proper &quot;Reply&quot; from your email agent
</I>&gt;<i> and your email will be &quot;nested&quot; with the right discussion thread.
</I>&gt;<i> - please do not hijack threads by &quot;Replying&quot; and then changing the &quot;Subject&quot;
</I>&gt;<i> line of the mail
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> The exchange of ideas makes us all grow. Mageia, the magic continues.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Marc

Adding to the above list:
- Please always set the text line wrap in your email client to ~72
characters. (the number of characters per line seems to be a debatable
issue; 72 chars per line is used in both evolution and claws-mail,
so...).
