[Qgis-user] Problem downloading exercise data

Sat Jan 5 02:21:49 PST 2013

To the list-administrators
Normally If you edit the subject line, the answer not following the thread.
Another problem with this list is that when you reply to the list, the
default is to the sender, not the mail-list. The other alternative is reply
everybody, and that are not so good either.

I use Google web-mail, so it is not a mail-client issue.

Cheers
