Unecessary replies to list - This is a list for the discussion and dissemination of information on mining history, and to make communication easier the default is set to reply to the whole list. There are occasions when a reply to the whole list is inappropriate. Please take a second or two to check the subject content and direct the reply accordingly. I cite as an example the recent spate of messages on Ancient & Primitive Mining. The original message offering copies of the papers went correctly to the whole list but replies accepting the offer, without expanding on the subject, should have been sent to the originator of the offer only, not to the whole list. Please check before hitting the reply button. HTML content in list messages - This applies particularly to members using Microsoft Outlook as their e-mail application. Could you please switch off the HTML generation when sending messages to the list. A string of unwanted characters are annoying to members, the majority of whom do not use that application, particularly if they receive list messages as a digest.
