2013-03-15 Reworked my image generating PHP script to not use jpgraph anymore. The automatic layouting and stuff of the library hin- dered me to get the stuff done straight forward. I have this every once in a while when I spend more effort disabling the pseudo-intelligence than I would have needed to write the neces- sary logic myself. Hence, I use libgd directly, now. Took part in a discussion on rewriting Reply-To headers in mail- ing lists. My contribution consisted mainly of the link to Neale Pickett's discussion ``"Reply-To" Munging Still Considered Harm- ful. Really.'' [0] We do need better software, more standard-conforming software. Otherwise people refrain from the sane approaches because the po- pular software products don't honor them. The conclude that the sanity is unnecessary if those wonderfully popular software pro- ducers don't care for it. At the same time, they suffer from problems they would not have if the programs would have followed the proposed and even standardized, sane approaches. Take email replies. Still many people are not aware of the two kind of replies a message can have: group/list replies and per- sonal replies. Yet, this is an intrinsic property of the system. It cannot be solved automatically with one single reply button. It requires the intellectual decision of the human user for one of the two choices. At least this awareness increases, but still the presonal reply is more prominent than the group/list reply, although the latter one is likely the better choice whenever the two choices differ (i.e. the message came via a list or has mul- tiple recipients). Shouldn't the group/list reply be the default choice? Then, this needs to be honored by the mail clients.
