. . . please always delete the text of the message you are replying to -- namely, do not leave old posts underneath your reply (but by all means quote lines you particularly want to refer to). This can greatly reduce download times, and makes emails (esp. digest ones) much easier and faster to read. If you are a digest member and wish to reply to a posting, please take a second to copy the subject line from within the digest, then hit 'Reply', and replace the "FILM-PHILOSOPHY Digest" subject line. Finally, be careful not to leave a whole digest underneath your reply. Also, please do not use html or styled formatting when sending messages -- some members will not be able to read your post, and non-formatted texts take up less bandwidth and thus download quicker. Set your email software to compose messages in plain text (ascii). For example, if you are using Outlook Express go into your Preferences, located in the Edit menu; click on Message Composition, and under Mail Sending Format switch to Plain Text (you should also uncheck 'Reply to messages in the format they were sent'). Apart from anything else, the salon is generally committed to public access internet forms (i.e. acsii emails and simple web design). Styled formatting can be replaced by a simple ascii text style guide: to emphasise words *quote with asterisks*; film and book titles should be marked with underscores -- Deleuze's _Cinema_, Sokurov's _Mother and Son_; mark titles of articles and all quotations with 'single quotation marks'; and instead of tabs or indents simply separate paragraphs with a one line gap.
