Preventing crap email from google?

[Mark Lawrence]

Good morning/afternoon/evening all,

Is there any possibility that we could find a way to prevent the double
spaced rubbish that comes from G$ infiltrating this ng/ml? For example,
does Python have anybody who works for G$ who could pull a few strings,
preferably a Dutch national who has named a quite well known programming
language after a humorous BBC television programme?

When you post from Google Groups you will sometimes
see a checkbox above the edit window that is a cc to
the python mailing list (<[email protected]>)
which is checked by default.

If you uncheck that, you'll stop the double posting.

That is different from the Google Groups double-spacing ">" quoted
material.

It is Google bloody Groups which is the problem. I should have plonked
posts from there ages ago, and am about to remedy that omission.

Yes, I realized that right after I clicked send. However since
it is also a common problem when posting from GG, maybe some
other readers of this thread will find it useful.

Re the specific problem mentioned, I just paste the original
message into an emacs window, add the quote marks and paste back
into the GG compose window.

Another alternative is to use "paste as quotation" into a mail
client compose window, and then paste back into GG. A small
PITA but not a big deal if GG is otherwise convenient.

But perhaps the same mentality that makes it just sooo hard
to read a double spaced post (that one is willing to killfile
a whole class of participants) is the same mentality that
makes sooo hard to correct such posts to begin with.

If you are on Firefox you should check out the "It's All Text!"
plugin. Not sure if it is available for other browsers.
