But let us also not give any undeserved free publicity to proprietary companies. Let us stay focused on making the free and open software
and
standards in music more accessible to more people.
Ramanraj, One request.While replying kindly keep the subject line intact so that people (like me, who sort the mails in threaded fashion using the Subject line) may keep track and enjoy the discussion. Your subject line ofcourse relates to your content, but It would be a good ( list) practise I believe. What do you say?

But, that is a very bad way to sort mails. The proper way is to use the X-BeenThere header for mailman mailing lists. Other mailing list software have their own way of allowing a recipient to distinguish between diffirent copies of same mail, one coming as a personal cc; and another coming via the mailing list.

If you use the X-Beenthere header, even if you change the subject line, the mail will continue to be threaded in good mail user agents / clients.

Please thread using message-id. Gnus threads incoming mail correctly - please try using it. Anand Babu and RK Muthukrishnan have already shared their .emacs and .gnus.el files here and it should help to get started.
If a long thread merely reads "Subject: The same title for all posts to this thread" how can you quickly tell one post from the other? Since mail servers and agents can use message-id to keep track of the thread, we can make good use of the subject line to give titles that describe the content of the post. This way, the archive indexes at http://mm.gnu.org.in/pipermail/fsf-friends/ are easier to refer in the future.
