Quoting Prior Messages (Re: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] Transistors for the A17 voltage regulator 8642B)

David K , Mr List Owner: One of things that changed from Yahoo to groups .IO. IN yahoo when using the website interface? it automatically included the prior message(s) when replying, with Groups IO the default is NOT to include the prior message without the person replying taking an extra step. IS there anyway to change the default reply format with in the IO interface? Those of us using our own mail clients generally don't have the problem but those using the web interface to reply do.

I for one just delete threads that include prior continuity...more is the loss

Sorry, no.

The 2N4401 is an NPN transistor.

Datasheet here:

www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/2N4401-D.PDF
I think 4401 is a typo -- it is a TO-92 transistor and original post was
about 2N4101 in TO-66 package:

pdf.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets/newjerseysemiconductor/2N4101-2N4102.pdf

There is no 2N4401 in TO-66; it is a low power general purpose transistor,
nothing special.

I am reluctant to change anything, as it is like the top-posting/bottom-posting topic. Whatever changes one made would upset as many as it pleases. It is like arguing about religion - a futile exercise.?

Was only suggesting that we revert if possible to "Standard" which we had in Yahoo in this regard...but it is YOUR group and it is good to be king.

Meanwhile I will wear the letters of my delete key ...DELETE...DELETE.....DELETE

Earthlink Webmail doesn't show threading, either in a browser or with their cell phone app. Neither of these are 'ancient' programs. There are times that I can't download messages before reading them, so any message without a minimum of a few quoted lines is deleted. I live in the S.E. U.S. where hurricanes and storms can take out my power or internet for extended periods. I recently went 15 days with no phone or internet, because Spectrum couldn't be bothered to fix their crappy broadband hardware. There are some one the group who are getting close to being kill filed on my Email account because of their contentless postings.

I had threading and filtering into folders in ancient Eudora and pine over a decade ago¡­ I don¡¯t understand how one can manage without it, and how obsolete of an email client it would take not to have that functionality (perhaps off by default, but still easily enable-able). Every modern email reader, whether stand-alone or web-based, threads and filters messages into folders. I really wonder what sort of an antique client it takes not to have that functionality. I don¡¯t see the need to delete any messages either, it seems like useless busywork and a waste of time, since we won¡¯t ever run out of space. The time spent deleting the messages or manually organizing them is more expensive than the storage thus ¡°saved¡±. They compress well, too.

Cheers, Kuba

You should get a better MUA then, as it appears to not insert "In-Reply-To:"
or "References:" headers which break threading.

Your MUA is broken per RFC 2822 "Internet Message Format":

3.6.4. Identification fields

Though optional, every message SHOULD have a "Message-ID:" field.
Furthermore, reply messages SHOULD have "In-Reply-To:" and
"References:" fields as appropriate, as described below.

There is nothing I an do about that, other than change providers and try to update my information on over 100 business websites. Frankly, I think that 99% of the internet is broken due to the low grade programmers who keep screwing with the software to add unwanted 'features', and who gut what you really need.

But that is secondary to the fact that email was never supposed to be a

those stored in random order in MBOX format on local machine that is usually
the case for any sane person -- never ever store ANYTHING on third party
server and remember that Microsoft is not an answer, it is a question and
the answer is "NO!".

What should and IS threaded by any sane _NEWS_reader are NEWS messages e.g.
from usenet. But those are _NOT_ emails and not addressed to anybody so they
form discussion threads. This is what they had been designed for.

Threaded email discussions are oxymoron. Email is NOT designed for
discussion threads. Emails are ADDRESSED messages from particular
address[es] to another particular address[es] and their threading is a poor
man's hack for proper newsgroups.

Ever tried usenet?

How do I change the way an Android app lets me read my email? There is only one for Earthlink's web mail. I only download what I haven't deleted, when the 300 MB inbox is close to full. Other times I have to use another computer to access it, like while in a hurricane shelter. Those computers wiped out anything you download, when you log out. Other times, I use the Android app on a KODI TV set top box, which doesn't let me download any messages.

I have an archive of downloaded email going back over 20 years, but I can't always read email on my dedicated Email computer. I also have saved Usenet messages going back 21 years.

False.

I and other people and do care about it.

ALL MUAs I've used since the 1980s (on Unix, Linux and Windows) have
had that capability.

You may not care, but you aren't the whole world. In particular you
don't get to dictate how other people use the net. Sorry about that.

Sorry to appear belligerent, but that's how you come across.

There are many ways of communicating information.

Yes, since the mid 80s.

True.
¡°SHOULD¡± (upper case) is actually defined in RFC 2119, which says:

3. SHOULD This word [¡­ means] that there
may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a
particular item, but the full implications must be understood and
carefully weighed before choosing a different course.

So you have to have a good reason to violate a SHOULD.
I bet that particular MUA doesn¡¯t have a good reason (laziness of implementers is *not* a ¡°valid reason¡±).

But that is secondary to the fact that email was never supposed to be a

False.

Indeed, it doesn¡¯t get much falser than that.
Discussion lists have been around for more than a third of a century.
There is a proper way to participate in a discussion mailing list, and it probably is even written up somewhere ¡ª unfortunately, I don¡¯t have time to pull that reference up right now, but maybe somebody else could.

(This message is mainly intended as an example of how to reply to a message on a discussion list.)

Old internet saying:

If a company provides a service to you for free, then you
are their product.

Gmail is free because Google (Alphabet actually) reads all of your
emails for interesting information, and uses that information
to create a profile of who they think you are, and what they think
your sick little self might like. They then sell that profile to any
company that is willing to pay for a list of people with the same
perversions as you...

So, try a little experiment. If you are male, engage in a gmail
conversation with a friend about feminine hygiene products, plastic
surgery vacations in Thailand, and baby stuff, and see what ads
start to show up when you surf the web without adblocker.

You will suddenly find an endless supply of ads for these things
everywhere you go.

Similarly, if you have google assistant enabled for voice on your
cell phone, it is listening to you all the time, and is sending the
audio back to Alphabet for interpretation and logging into your
profile. You can even log onto your google account and download
their favorite overheard conversation tidbits and keywords from your
phone...

[Note, if you have android, and use your voice to make your phone
do anything, you have google assistant enabled, and it is listening
to you.]

But sure, by all means give gmail all of your email correspondence.

All open source email clients support threading, including pine, many IMAP providers support it server-side, etc. Email has not been ¡°designed¡± for many things because nobody had an idea what it may be useful for. Usenet¡¯s downfall is that it¡¯s a technology that doesn¡¯t add much on top of email as currently implemented. And of course the mbox format is awesome, but that doesn¡¯t preclude indices ¨C a raw mbox file is a data-exchange medium, not access medium: I like being able to search my mail at a cost better than O(N*M), where M is some measure of the cost of a comparison ¨C in most cases, you want it to be something more human-proof than a case-insensitive string or regex search. Mailbox indexing used to be poorly implemented, but that¡¯s not the case anymore. Even the iOS¡¯s built-in mail client handles it correctly, and does indexing in the background when plugged in, or incrementally, on a phone with 2G of RAM and a CPU that was hot tamales a decade ago, and is quite thermally constrained on top of that.

I don¡¯t particularly wish that Usenet became a thing again: it seems gratuitous, and was a ¡°good deal¡± at times when servers were huge and clients were tiny (a Z80-based Usenet reader would be just fine). These days, servers are often smaller than the clients, as datacenter costs aren¡¯t trivial and renting a server with the capacity of even my current phone would be more than beer money. Even big providers like google scale and distribute their services so that the individual instances can be small. But, given an always-on, say, M68k system, even it should be able to index huge mailboxes in a modern fashion and offer very fast lookups, threading, etc. Something like a raspberry pi has no trouble with any of it. A$35 system¡­ So, I¡¯d say that email as implemented and used today isn¡¯t as big of a bear as we make it out to be, when talking non-emotional terms.

As to usenet i remember bang paths and telebit trailblazer modems

I.e. csiro!bigsite!foovax!barbox!me

As for google they get all my e-commerce mail as they do a reasonable job of keeping it spam free and making sure their MTA¡¯s dont get blocked by spamhaus and other blacklist providers.

The tradeoff is some degree of privacy but since ecommerce vendors will sell your marketing data anyway not much of a loss.

And i have a separate private email system for the rest of my mail.
