<title>Mailing Lists</title>
<p>Before posting questions to any list:</p>
<ul>
<li>Review the <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html">Jakarta Mailing Lists</link> - Guidelines for general principles about mailing lists.</li>
<li>Review "<link href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html">How To Ask Questions The Smart Way</link>".</li>
<li>Send only <em>plain text</em> email messages to any mailing lists. Please do not send html or rtf email, as they do not work well with the archive engines. If you are using Microsoft Outlook, this setting can be found at the "Mail Format" tab of the Tools/Options menu.</li>
<li>Use a mail client that respects the <em>References</em> and/or <em>In-Reply-To</em> mail header entries. This is important for mail clients that can display threads as trees. <strong>Compliant mail clients</strong> include Microsoft Outlook, Becky!, KMail, Apple Mail, Ximian Evolution, Mozilla (version 1.2 or greater). Non-compliant mail clients include Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, Internet Mail Service (MUA or MTA), and dtmail.</li>
</ul>
<p>For help in understanding email acronyms, see the <link href="http://www.lingo2word.com/lists/acronym_listA.html">Lingo2Word Acronym List</link>, or the <link href="http://www.keno.org/web_design/acronyms.htm">Keno Internet Services Internet Glossary</link>.</p>
