this leads me to a comment, that bothers me for quite a while now. IMHO,
quoting discipline is very bad on this list. most of the mails here
contain fullquotes and i find them very hard to read. i would like to
point german speaking ppl to http://learn.to/quote, especially if you
think right quoting isn't that important. i use email now for several
years and i found this text still very informative.

in short:
		never ever fullquote
		only quote, what is relevant for YOUR answer
		write your answer AFTER the quoted text

yes, this will cost you some time on each mail you reply on, but it
saves hundreds of ppl the same time while reading it.

thx ...
