Hello Terry,

On Tuesday November 12 2019 19:56, you wrote to Oli:

Apart from the fact that omitting a REPLY kludge in a reply when there is a
MSGID, is in violation of FTS-0009, it is bloody annoying.

The missing REPLY kludge makes it harder to go back in a thread. That is
annoying. What makes it even more annoying is that the originator claims to be
an eperienced software developer. I find it so annoying that I have decided to
not reply to the person in question. No REPLY kludge, no reply.

You may argue that I am too easely annoyed. So be it. It won't change my
position. No REPLY kludge, no reply.


Cheers, Michiel
