If you want to see it that way, fine with me. Fact is, I dislike when people don't give a damn for existing common rules which have turned out to work fine for all other people. Brian explained some problems fairly well. In my opinion, people writing a mail should use their brain instead of relying on automated systems or, worse, the recipient, to fix their avoidable mess. Successful communication needs rules. If somebody doesn't apply to these rules, which really aren't hard to find or follow, nobody is forced to read his or her posting, right? Nobody is forced to read my postings either. That's ok.
