Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Subject lines - another gripe...

Hi :)
Again, not just 1 email client.  It affects mine too and probably countless others too.  I think 
being incompatible or awkward with other systems is very  arrogant.  We don't need to restrict 
people and tell them what they can and can't use.  That sort of behaviour is exactly why i moved 
away from MicroSquish stuff.
Regards from
Tom :)

It strikes me, the problem isn't LibreOffice, it's Pegasus Mail.  :-) Personally, I don't think 
it's LibreOffice's responsibility to address the shortcomings and limitations of other software 
products.

Another point, if you shorten the name and start using acronyms, that could cause problems for new 
users finding it difficult to figure out what [lou] means.  :-)
