It is strange, though, that Jakub is the only one I've noticed who isn't able to do me the courtesy of addressing me directly when replying to me. > I am reading and writing on a number of mailing lists with either > explicit or implicit gateways to news servers.

I get over 500 emails a day. I can thread them just like a news reader would do. But I do sort them in different folders as well. My most important folder contains emails directly sent to me, or on which I'm CC'd. The other folders might get completely ignored when I'm too busy, or threads quickly purged out. > In fact, for articles sent through > Usenet servers, it is generally considered an _annoyance_ to include > unannounced "courtesy copies" since replies to them will not usually > reach the list and will require redoing. This is a mailing list and not a news group. I don't care if you use a newsgroup gateway if it isn't broken. As it is, gmane is broken as far as I'm concerned. So please complain to gmane or change your setup. Nicolas
