Sorry people need to learn to use their mail clients.
If community is to develop and grow in positive way and possibly have an 
web representation of mailing list in the future, individuals that are 
doig it wrong on the list and they are informed on it, should be 
informed to do it right so that everyone is happy and list is not trashed.

It absolutely has nothing to do with "hostility" , on the oposite, it is 
being friendly and positive and understanding recognizing the issue and 
help people not to repeat same mistakes.
If it would be hostile, people would be temporarely banned from posting 
after being informed to correct posting mistake and not doing something 
about it. If one recognize the problem and keeps doing th same thing, it 
is then aganst community goals of having civile environment and may and 
may not be intentional.

Also well-behaved and civile community is much more important then 
someone's personal opinion that laziness to fix it's own problem has 
anything to do with OI. Also it is of most importance to inform 
Newcomers that being polite and helpful is valued and ignoring technical 
problems (especially when it has nothing to do with OI mailinfg lists) 
is not.
So using one's own mail client is not connected with Openindiana whatsoever.
