OT: "Reply to All" was [Re: HWG-Graphics + Netiquette]

Hmm look I'm doing exactly what you just said not to do, and yet
this email is only going to the list.

The problem isn't the "Reply to All' option but the people
who use it that forget to change the "To" field.

I almost always change the field to make sure it ONLY goes to the
List want it to go to, I say almost always because sometimes you remember
to check it only after you've quikly hit the send button.

One thing you forgot about netiquette.

** Reread your email before sending it out, and edit out any unnecessary parts.
INCLUDING anything not needed in the original message you are replying to here.

Notice this is what I've done here with this email.

Also Make sure YOUR subject header is relevant to YOUR email, change it if
necessary, it's irritating reading an email that has nothing to do with 
it's subject
header.
