Re: unsigned type

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

First since a few RFC have been replaced or updated has this one. 

But in looking at the RFC that you posted where are the others' "summarizes 
the original" message, no one does that. And most include the complete 
message which goes against the "do not include the entire original".

And the RFC also says "it is possible to see a response to a message before 
seeing the original." This is allowed and its also called "top posting". So I 
am, in this case following the rules of the RFC, but no one else to follow any 
part of RFC 1855, section 3.1.1.
