Thank you, it's a pleasure for me. :-)
I like Gambas very much and it's an honor for me to be a part of it.

This is a good idea. At the beginning we had that, but Benoît didn't
like it, because as people quoted each other and did not remove the
footer(s), the quoted mails were full of that and hardly readable. So it
did not work.

If the members had knowledge about how and what to quote (do inline
quoting, remove unnecessary parts of the quoted mail, remove the footer
from the quote) and a little more discipline, it would be no problem to
integrate links to the archive, the search and so on into the footer of
every mail.

But then the people here should agree, some of them should change their
behavior and we all should instruct newbies to behave like that.

Maybe we could write a "nettiquette" page or a FAQ which contains
instructions on how to quote so that mails in long threads are easy
readable.

For instance this is a good example:

Alles Gute
