I find it slightly ironic that a thread complaining about something which isn't a problem for the majority of users commits the greater sin of top and bottom posting within the same thread. I'm /not/ singling out any individual for criticism here, rather using an actual example to illustrate the point.i did not know about the list-id field so corrected. thx , i would prefer not use to email but seems to be the standard for lugs so sticking to old fashion ways. i am willing to move on. the redditch bromsgrove lug (my local 1) has got its own forum powered site thingy can't remember name of it now not had much sleep brain not in gear and i am too hot On 12 April 2014 11:42, Gordon Henderson <gordon+lug@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:On Sat, 12 Apr 2014, lug@xxxxxx wrote:On Sat, 12 Apr 2014 08:23:24 +0100, Mark Croft <mark.croft.lug@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:coming back to this again sorry but i think the standard out there in tetternet is to have subject tags or whatever the proper name is for them to have more detais. examples [Wolves] for wolvehampton Linux User Group - not the best but ha ho does what says on the tin [Talk-gb-westmidlands] birmingham talks for openstreetmapping team/group [SB] should really be SBLUG South Birmingham LUG etc etc not everyone following a standard really in the LUG world i guess it free and easy and relax etc what i would like is the tag too be changed too [DCLUG] or whatever something easy to pick out which are from devon and west midlands not having a dig or anything trying to be helpfully but english is bad for me with dysleixaSo rather than you use an email client (or server software) that can filter on various message criteria (from/to/etc.) you want the rest of the world to change. Good luck with that :)You shouldn't be filtering on subject anyway - well you can - but most lists these days have a List-Id: header which you can filter on. e.g. the List-Id here is: List-Id: The Devon & Cornwall and SW LUGs general discussion list <list.dcglug.org.uk> So I filter on that.

First post has a reply under it, then the next reply under that, then the next reply on top, oh and then my reply on the bottom. Personally I prefer bottom posting but as long as there is /consistency/ within a thread I don't have an issue with reading bottom to top as long as the flow is all /one/ way.
