Warning - Memo to the user network SPbZXNet (continued).

 Continuation of the "memo", published in
previous issue.



           3.0 Kvoting letters.


 To make a "soap", but more so in
echo area, there was some
order, many years ago was considered
the need for processing letters and messag on
same standard. Such a standard is in
SPbZXNet.
 In the main text memos you have already
read about how to look
beginning and end of the letter, but it's not all.
There are also certain rules
design responses to the letters, or other
words, kvoting (citation).
 Assume you will get an
email:


               === Cut ===
Born in the forest herringbone,
In the forest it grew,
Winter and summer Slim
Green was.

               === Cut ===

 Suppose you want to convince
interlocutor that can not be born herringbone
and, moreover, can not be slim ...
 You are just quoting his words, inserting
your comments:


               === Cut ===
 DP> born in the forest herringbone,
 DP> In the forest it grew,

Herringbone can not be born in the woods ...


 DP> winter and summer Slim
 DP> Green was.

And, moreover, be slim ...

               === Cut ===

 If you quote someone's email
Be sure to include by passing a gap in
beginning of each line, the initials of its author,
for example, "DP = Dyadya Petya", and not
forget to put one, two, three, etc.
ticks (">") after the initials. Each
a checkmark indicates how many
letters used this passage.
 For example, a letter from the PN to IN:


              === Cut ===
 PN>>> Hmm, hard case ...
 IN>> Sam volunteered
 PN> Well, I'll remember ...

Well, just feet do not hurt:)

              === Cut ===

 The answer to it would look like:


              === Cut ===
 PN>>>> Hmm, hard case ...
 IN>>> Sam volunteered
 PN>> Well, I'll remember ...
 IN> OK, only the legs do not hurt:)

 Okay, I will not. Came to you a hundred
Two hundred men on foreign cars ... ;)

              === Cut ===

 Ie You will automatically add the ">" to
prededuschey each quotation. What you want
add contact from the beginning of the line, without
any initials.
 But you are right and some podsokratit
strings of letters to come, if you think
that without them is not lost "thread"
conversation, because the main goal
kvotinga - remind interlocutors, and about
What exactly it.
 For example, you can answer this way:


               === Cut ===
 PN>> Well, I'll remember ...
 IN> OK, only the legs do not hurt:)

 Okay, I will not. Came to you a hundred
Two hundred men on foreign cars ... ;)

               === Cut ===

 If the idea is big, then sometimes kvotinge
is not out of it podsokratit to
place to save. In this case, the quota
only its beginning and end and middle
ruthlessly cut out, replacing it
any phrase / word in square
parentheses. For example:


              [Skipped]

 Avoid overkvotinga, ie
When your letter prokvocheno more than 60%
text, or quoted without the need
Hats or oridzhin.Za it most
echo-conferences can be obtained
punishment (usually plus ...).
 If you quote oridzhin, replace
combination

- * Origin:

on

- + + Origin:

so as not to "sglyuknul" hub.
 Here is an example of such a quote from the letter. Was:

--- DOSya for 4.5 rubles
 * Origin: hachu beer! (500:812 / 08.03)

 Become:

 AG> - + - DOSya for 4.5 rubles
 AG> + Origin: hachu beer! (500:812 / 08.03)

Duc Who can not want to ... ;)))

-----------------------------------------
 It is most convenient to work with mail or
system IS Dos, using macros (for details
this has been discussed in ZXNews 26), or
in a special post editor - Speccy
Mail Master - SMM (on how to configure it
Read the fifth ASpect'e).

 And the last wish on registration
Letters: try to style your
letters as small as possible like the style
all other subscribers to this ekhi,
to your letter, and looked particularly
unique. It is not necessary to borrow a phrase
oridzhinov and greetings from the other
users - if you do not have enough imagination -
better to limit to a simple "Hello!".
