The result of this were From: "Ryan Davis" Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 5:13 PM which IMHO is acceptable as an approximation to the Nettiquette while at the same time only requiring very little editing. I am unsure if From: "Ryan Davis" , Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 5:13 PM actually had any advantage over this. If one actually requires a one-liner that should rather read From: "Ryan Davis" because it makes little sense to provide a time without mentioning the time zone when writing messages to c.l.r. IMHO the problem is the misconception that Outlook, Outlook Express and Lotus Notes are Mail User Agents. This is wrong. They are multi-purpose tools that *include* a MUA. As well as it is stupid to expect that all the different functions of a Swiss Army Knife serve their purpose as well as dedicated tools, it is equally stupid to expect such multi-purpose tools to be as good as a dedicated Mail User Agent. To give an example the Screwdriver works fine if you have free access to the screw. But as soon as this is not the case you run into trouble and have to find a real screwdriver. Often as SAK is sufficient for IKEA products but I found out that sometimes it isn't :-| (*) Yet another contribution to this meta-discussion. Josef 'Jupp' Schugt
