It's still considered bad netiquette to post private email messages publicly without the sender's permission. I guess I'll have to add that to the PaddleWise intro for the new folks to the internet.

When you're used to automatically entering the Paddlewise address in reply to a reply to a Paddlewise message, sometimes it's easy to overlook the fact that the thread has turned into a private message. I've also received private messages that were obviously intended for Paddlewise.

A quick look at the headers will let you know who all is included in the mailing. It's always a good idea to check with the sender about forwarding their message to the list before assuming it was intended for the list. If you are typing in the PaddleWise email address when responding to a message, then you should be checking the headers to make sure the message was intended for the list. Otherwise, use of automatic replies to "all" will only include the party or parties addressed by the sender. OTOH, when I send private email not intended for the entire list, I will usually preface it with a note stating "this is private email." Just a little extra precaution :-) Jackie *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
