[...] Hi all,
I (and I'm sure many of you) subscribe to daily digests from NANOG to keep things concentrated. However, there are sometimes messages in the digest I'd like to reply to, and I don't want to be that guy who just replies to the digest and opens an ugly new thread.
Curious what workflow/process any of you use to do so, and what the best/netizen-polite way is to end up with a reply that's appropriately threaded. Do I just need to mirror the subject line?
1. I locate the relevant message I want to reply 2. Delete everything before/after or with some mail client (like Thunderbird) , I can just select the message and hit the 'reply' button. It will include only the selected text 2. Copy exactly the subject line of the relevant message I want to reply and if it doesn't yet contain a 'Re:' in front, I insert it. And that is exactly what I'm doing with this reply. I believe it's not so disruptive at least when I look at the archives [1], it's not opening a new thread. 1. https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/ Of course, like you I usually don't reply to messages so it's not so tedious. -- Willy Manga
