I just published a blog entry [1]. Although I explained this topic a lot of times in the past I never wrote down the most basic principles of e-mail usage. Now I finally did it so I can point friends who are news in the Free Software community to this short guide. If you find it useful I will add it to wiki.fsfe.org.
I like this small kind of guide very good: main common user's mistakes highlighting, short and useful. It is really sad to see how many people do not know nearly everything of all mentioned here.
- *E-Mail signature* Keep it small and simple. Signatures longer than five lines should be avoided. The separated for the signature is “– ” (minus minus blank) and then line break. The blank is important as many e-mail programs then know that it is a signature.
I think that your editor converted double dash to single longer one. "– " instead of "-- ".
Very usefull Wikipedia's one!
