Hello Stan,

Given that there are lazy people, and also even many more people who
simply don't know the drill and don't know exactly what to scrutinize
to make sure that they're not missing any bets, the rational way for
the group to cope with such evidence of the human condition would be
to made every effort ONCE to minimize the frequency with which it will

Are you deliberately missing the point? Changing the footer will NOT be
of any use for reasons already explained: It won't be read. Therefore,
changing the footer is simply wasting time and effort.

As is this discussion.

Hi :slight_smile:
I don't feel contempt or superior or anything. If a person has a problem i just
try to help if i can. A quick copy&paste is no hassle.

At a coffee shop we kept making a certain warning sign larger and larger.
Changed the font to red. Tried exclamation marks, road-side no-entry signs.
Nothing seemed to work, people would walk right by. So we switched to a tiny
sign with "Top Secret" printed at the top. Suddenly everyone started taking
notice.

Unfortunately some mailers don't parse the email address correctly when
pasted and cut off the +help form the email address which is why I think so
many of the end up on this list.

Hi :slight_smile:
On mine the "users+" looks like it's not part of the address. The "Problems"
guide does lead to the right place tho but maybe the + causes problems for those
emailers when they try to follow the instruction?

The foorer is parsed correctly at my end, using gmail/evolution/ubuntu
11.04. Is it an improperly configured client?

In using a java based email client on WinXP it ends up with
users@global.libreoffice.org as the email address and +help as the subject.
The same client under eCS works fine so it could be the interface with XP and
the client or an issue within XP itself. Apparently Tom also has seen
incorrect parsing. Maybe if the plus sign was changed to a minus it would
work better, I don't know.

totally agree with you

Hi :slight_smile:
A lot of email clients that are in common usage by normal office workers have
really appalling defaults. There is not much chance of getting the IT Dept to
set it up right and they often block people from changing settings for
'security' reasons. Maybe IT Departments would be less concerned about security
if stuff didn't break so easily. OpenSource defaults tend to be much better.
So that's 2 reasons to get OpenSource products more accepted in workplaces.
