    Hello, everyone.

    I've been on this list a long time, and some of the posts in recent days are
    concerning me. I am also aware that this message makes me flame bait. My
    asbestos undies are firmly in place; bring it on.

    This list does not exist as a youth club, nor is it here to massage egos.
    This list exists for SuSE users to help each other with questions and
    problems that arise from being involved with SuSE Linux. Sometimes, threads
    will wander off topic a little, but that's OK. This list is full of clever
    people from all over the world, with different cultural backgrounds and
    levels of experience. A little digression is only to be expected.

    I have included Patrick's reply below merely as an example. Telling people
    to RTFM or search on Google is not terribly helpful. For either of these
    methods to be useful, you have to know what it is you're looking for in the
    first place. This kind of treatment only serves to deter people from asking
    questions. Anyone remember a few years ago when Ben would dutifully send
    out the same answer again and again when the Nvidia questions would crop up
    ? That may have been above and beyond, but it made this list a happy place
    to be.

    I'm all for the "Teach a man to fish" philosophy, but sometimes, you just
    need a quick fix for something so you can move on and get past it. Don't
    forget, today's 'noob' is tomorrow's guru.

    Bye for now,
    Stuart.

    Your failure to properly configure mutt!

    read what?

    Has nothing to do with procmail or .procmailrc.

    put into ~/.muttrc

    subscribe suse-linux-e

    IT IS IN THE DOC's.
