Re: [libreoffice-users] conditional formatting broken?

Hi :)
+1
but we all have trouble remembering and getting it right all the time.
 There are so many other cases were "Reply all" or "Group reply" feels
wrong or might even be really bad.

This mailing list used to have it so that it would default to the list
and sending off-list (= back-channel) was quite tricky.  I too think
it kept the community together a lot more but falling numbers here
could be just due to the increasing number of ways of getting help
with LibreOffice.  The AskLO bot might be worth exploring if i ever
get around to it!  Also the distro i use most often seems much better
at answering questions about LO too now.
Regards from
Tom :)
