1. Who to reply to:
Some
people have to pay for incoming mail based on
the size and amount of that mail. Please remember this
when you reply to a message. Stop first and consider
whether your response is really of interest to the whole
group, or should be privately addressed to the author
of the message.
Messages to haikutalk should be sent to
haikutalk@lists.spunge.org
Messages to haikutalk2 should be sent to
haikutalk2@yahoogroups.com
Only members of haikutalk or haikutalk-digest may post to haikutalk. If you wish to post to the list
from more than one address, each must by subscribed either to the main list
or the digest-list.
Only members of haikutalk2 may post to haikutalk2. If you wish to post to the list
from more than one address, you should create a "yahoo profile" and manage your own settings.

Make sure the "reply to" address is the one you want.
The default reply address points to the list
so it's very easy to address private replies
to the whole list without noticing,
while sometimes messages intended for the whole list
go only to a single email address.
2. Mail settings:
Please set your mail program so that you
post messages in plain/text with "No coding"
and not in HTML
or other settings such as "multipart/alternative".
In particular avoid the so-called "quoted/printable" setting in MS Outlook.
For further information see changing mail settings in Outlook Express.
Some email systems strip the headers off,
so people on those systems
can only reply to you directly
if you sign your message with your name
AND email address. This is much appreciated!
A number of mail-servers cannot accept
mail with 8-bit ascii characters
in the message header
(areas such as "from" and "subject"
and the beginning of the message).
Please be aware that some members
may not get your messages
if you use these characters,
which include umlauted characters,
accent marks, etc.
