Dear Brynn,

I really wish I could help out more with that, because I really do enjoy helping new users. But whenever I do, I just get frustrated (with all the things I already mentioned, plus what you mentioned about marking solved or answered or whatever). The worst part for me is having to open each message, every visit, to find out if there is any reply. For me, relying on email notification is even worse. Anyway, I usually last a week or 2 before I get so frustrated I just give up.
- You do answer *these* emails ;-) - the answers section is nothing
different. One can even answer by email. Just like this. They don't send notifications, but the full message. I find it's even easier than on the forums... One doesn't even need to open a browser, it all comes to you.
I used to answer some questions, but my main problems with the lp answers mails are: -> mails are not threaded (no In-Reply-To header, no "References" header, so thunderbird do not make a thread). -> Since april 2015, i received 2.220 on-topic mails and more than 33.300 spams (I may have deleted some). Also, more and more spam are evading my spam folder, especially very recently when spammers just ask random unix questions in their message (???) so I will probably unsubscribe at some point -> (plus, the "no attachments, etc" that has been mentioned)
