Hello,
It surprises me to no end that (some) people are so touchy about "read the manual" sentence.
Interesting. I would never feel offended by someone telling me to read the manual. I find it pretty normal.
The only reason for upper case in my e-mails is that I send e-mails in plain text, not in HTML,
and in plain text there is no "bold", "italic", underline or any other kind of emphasis marks available
in plain text.
As to why I use plain text, the reasons are: saving traffic, compatiblity with all mail readers,
not interfering with YahooGroup own formatting/styles.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
