PS: so much for telling people not to reply to announcements... :-(
Text in capitals is hard to read. That's the reason why EULAs etc. are written in all capitals: The customer should not read it.
Funny idea...
Try your self, what's easier to read?
** THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT - PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE! ** ** SEND BUG REPORTS ETC. AS A NEW MESSAGE, WITH A PROPER SUBJECT! **
** This is an announcement - please do not reply to this message! ** ** Send comments, questions etc. as a new message, with a proper subject! **
I was under the impression that it is common practice to write something important in capitals.
Too:
Maybe a subject change would help?
The convention is: Subject: New topic (was: old topic)
"(was:" is a token detected be better readers so that further "Re" will not repete it again and again...
Just changing the subject isn't doing the trick. You _have_ to write a _new_ message to start a new thread.
Well, this was an apparently feeble attempt to make people aware that they should start a new thread for a new problem. I guess I just have to give up and accept that there will always be somebody who just doesn't give a sh*t...
