No, I just tried to say that I would have ACKed to your initial
reminder if I had seen it.

The only suggestion with regard to your reminders is that it might be
useful to reply to the original message instead of forwarding it.
(IIRC Stefan also suggested it some time ago.)  Thus, your reminder
messages would include the Message-ID of the original mail in the
References header, which would allow (at least Gnus users[1]) to jump
to the original very easily (`^' = gnus-summary-refer-parent-article)
instead of searching for subject and/or author.

If you can't use reply instead of forward, you might include the
Message-ID in the forward headers.

[1] People who don't use Gnus may enter the MID like this
    <http://thread.gmane.org/address@hidden>
    in their web browser (clicking on "Subject:" in the article frame
    leads to the complete thread).

I will do.

Bye, Reiner.
