Sorry about the top-posting, excess snippage, and whatever else is annoying you about my message style.
It's only the non-snippage that was annoying -- no one needs an illegible copy of two previous replies to grapple the context. But thank you for the appology.
I've said before that I am forced to use a crappy mail client at work, currently Outlook '03, previously
What about web mail? I know that Groupwise was a problem but Outlook '03 is supposed to work just fine. Who is stripping your threading references?
The WTF message was suppose to go to Luke-Jr only, since I didn't understand his meaning of "federated MX". I still don't. Don't get on people for too much trimming when you did the exact same thing in your postings. You trimmed all of Frank's lucid post except for what was relevant. Makes sense to me, but it is the exact thing you got pissed at me about.
No, it's the non-trimming and illegible rewrapping in your first reply to Hal.
I know Tom just likes to poke you with a stick when maillist standards come up, but you act as if I and other users top-post, bottom post, trim or whatever in order to confuse, obfuscate, or piss you off.
I don't think anyone is doing it intentionally ... just not spending the few extra moments to do it right.
But that is not the issue, the broken MX record, if that is the problem, is the issue, let's concentrate on fixing that.
The only person who can is Hal. He's aware of the issue. If he fixes it then it's fixed. If not, we have no alternative.
