LibreOffice Compatible Outliner

#1

I may or may not be understanding your question;
          but if you're referring to the document adding the Roman numerals
... numerals ... letters to form an outline;
         LO does this - & so do other programs.

       But I would not recommend any of them since these computer-generated
outlines don't fit with the way I was taught to make one;
          these computer generated spelling programs irk me as well :wink:

       Well, maybe I'm set in my ways,

I was not clear. I am well aware that LibreOffice allows me to create etc. outlines.

I am looking for a simpler/quicker to use program that only does LibreOffice compatible outlines, similar to the DOS program PCOutline.

Also, can someone explain to me why a reply to messages here - unless you reply all - goes to the individual posting the original message? Defeats the purpose of a mailing list, does it not? In my opinion, the reply should ONLY be to the mailing list - as it is on all other mailing lists I am on.

Is preferable a small program for the outline, because LibreOffice can not manage outlines.

I have used tree programs for that purpose:

1) A text editor, with the ability to indent/unindent and to move
     lines up and down. That's was one of the outline software you
     describe. Also, can work in utf-8. An example: notepad2

2) Freeplane (a mind map software), can export a tree to odt.

3) You can use also,tkoutline (btheado@users.sourceforge.net,
     http://tkoutline.sourceforge.net), which is a little simple
     but gets the work done.

Have a nice day

Lists which force replies back to the list usually do so by setting the reply-to header to the list address. That makes it difficult to reply to the individual or CC their address when replying if that's necessary for some reason (e.g. if they're not subscribed to the list, but then allowing non-subscribed posts is another argument...) Even Reply All doesn't always include the original sender's address, since the reply-to header overrides the from header.

It's also possible that the sender might have set the reply-to header themselves to have replies sent to a different address, and by overwriting it the list removes that information. It is possible for the sender to force replies to their message back to the list, by setting reply-to to the list address; it's their option as the sender.

The mailing list sets the list-* headers (list-post etc.) so if your mail client supports it you can use the "Reply to List" feature. So you as recipient have a choice - Reply to the individual, Reply to List, or Reply All.

For what it's worth, the GIMP and Mozilla SeaMonkey lists also work in the same was as this list.

Mark.
