It really is about the "seriously". If you don't, you'll get your mail outright ignored. Many of us get lots[1] of mail per day, and have no time nor will to scroll around in the message reading long (untrimmed) quoted parts that are out of order, let alone click around in the corresponding thread to remember the context. If you want your mail to be read, you should take some time to make it *easy* to read on its own. [1] I'm luckily not one of them, but I hear high-profile project maintainers get hundreds. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch
