No, Mark describes the standard way Thunderbird works.  Reply-to-List
does what he says it does. Not sure why your installation works
differently.  I guess maybe you are talking about something different.
The mailing list vs the NNTP list.

You're right -- I use the NNTP list only.  I've never looked at the Python mailing list.  The 
very few mailing lists I subscribe to, I only read--never reply to.  Come to think of it, 
currently there's only one, and I rarely do more than skim it briefly--and frequently not even 
that.  I should drop it altogether, just haven't bothered to do so.

That depends on whether you're using Thunderbird as a newsreader, 
 or Thunderbird with the mailing list.  Mark Harris is apparently
 doing the latter.

Under what circumstances do you see yourself needing a keyboard capable 
of typing Hindi?

I don't wish to pay for a keyboard for entering Arabic when I'm never 
going to enter more than two or three Arabic characters at a time. If I 
need to enter an Arabic character, I can use one of many existing virtual 
keyboards. If I decide to learn Arabic, I will use my current keyboard 
(perhaps with new keycaps) and switch to a different keyboard layout.

I don't think that an English-speaker who needs to occasionally enter a 
few characters like © ¢ or £, a mathematician who knows TeX, a Russian 
wanting to type in Cyrillic, and a Japanese writer who needs to swap 
between four different writing systems (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana, and 
Rōmaji) are all going to be well-suited by any one system. I expect that 
it will end up being one-size-fits-none.

You are being patronising to the 94% of the world that is not from the 
USA. Do you honestly think that people all over the world have been using 
computers for 30 or 40 years without any way to enter their native 
language? Before trying to speak for everyone in the world, it would be a 
good idea to learn something about their situation first.

People are not stuck with the US Royal typewriter keyboard. Keyboards are 
localised all over the world. I'm not just talking about European 
keyboards mostly similar to US keyboards but with a few customizations. 
I'm talking about keyboards for entering Chinese and Japanese:

http://www.keysourcechina.com/chinese-keyboard.html
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs140/projects/pintos/specs/kbd/jp106.jpg

although I'm pretty sure this is a joke:

http://propelsteps.boards.net/thread/27/creative-chinese-keyboard-2000-symbols


When you install Linux, one of the first things the installer asks you to 
do is choose a keyboard layout. The choices are *not* just:

US Qwerty
US Dvorak

but one of a large variety of keyboard layouts. On my system, there are a 
least 95:

[root@ando ~]# ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols | wc -l
95

Likely many more, as most of the files contain more than one layout; e.g. 
the ru file contains 5, the fr file contains 7.

On Mac and Windows, locally-bought systems will come pre-configured for 
the local national language.

You can even buy keycaps for some pretty niche use-cases:

http://www.maxkeyboard.com/r4-1x1-cherry-mx-chinese-astrology-animal-sign-keycap-set.html

although I expect that's more for novelty reasons than anything else.

Most languages work quite well with the standard keyboard layout of four 
rows of keys, plus modifiers and special keys. Japanese and Chinese are 
probably the two hardest cases (apart from languages that don't even have 
a writing system!), and even they have solutions to the problem of 
computer input. (In Japan, many people don't even use Unicode, at least 
not yet, so your hypothetical solution wouldn't help them one bit.)

Virtually all keyboards today have standardized on a similar layout, one 
with at least three modifier keys (and more commonly four). People with 
specialized needs can configure their keyboard the way it suits them. 
There's no need for some dictator or committee to declare that everyone 
will use this system or that. Historians who need to enter Phoenician 
characters can do so, the rest of us don't need to worry about them.

Dvorak is an American English system. There are modified versions to suit 
other languages with additional characters, but it is essentially 
*identical* to Qwerty except for the order that the keys appear. 
Shuffling the order that Latin letters ABC...Z appear on the keyboard is 
not in any way "the right idea" for entering non-Latin languages, nor 
does a Dvorak language help enter arbitrary Unicode characters.

You think ~sooo three dimensionally.

Picture this  ~a unicode keyboard with morphing keytops (digital ink, 
light emitting); a standard layout of keys that are touch sensitive, are 
meta operative, and are able to input *every* language on earth (as well 
any symbol). The keyboard may emit light, but not necessarily. The keys 
may be raised, but not necessarily; they have a glassy feel, soft, 
sensual, and completely programmable. Code point pages (key top mappings 
literally) are selectable on|off screen. The keyboard is obviously 
wireless, and the entire keytopsection is mouse-able; the whole keyboard 
is a pinting device, with diff sections for scrolling &c.

This keyboard will be standard in about 25 years... none exist today.

One of the things I do is biblical and classical language support and 
translation (Latin, Hebrew, and Greek).  I do translation work as well 
as papers, research, &c; I need four full keyboards.  I'm getting by 
fairly well with the macs key mappings, but what I'm really after is the 
21st century keyboard I'm dreaming about above.

Think, virtual keyboard, on a keytoplayout... but separate from any 
touchable screen. And, think mac keytops (or flatter) not the plastic 
IBM typewriter like keyboards of today. Think beyond.

What if~  when I select my UK standard keytop mappings (from my US 
custom keytop mappings) what if the actual keytops on the keyboard 
"morphed" into UK tops?

Better yes, what if the whole keytopsection could morph into Greek tops?

I am able to type in Greek, well I've been doing it for about 12 years, 
but it would be soooo much better if the keytopsection actually morphed.

What if, when you opened your new computer in Botswana, and you selected 
your language in gnu/linux lang setup, and your standard unicode 
keyboard morphed into your favorite Tswana or Setswana { whatever } and 
only ONE keyboard needed to be manufactured ?

Wrong. You just have to be willing to pay for it.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/181d/?srp=14

Or you could just get a blank keytops keyboard and reprogram it how
you like. But hey, have you noticed something? NOT ONE of these ideas
actually makes it easy to write Python code with occasional non-ASCII
characters in it. Switching keyboard mode for a single character is
horribly inefficient, especially if you have to remember a whole lot
of different modes for different characters ("lambda is
meta-butterfly-greek L meta-ctrl-space, and equality is
meta-mathematics 5 meta-ctrl-space"). Putting everything onto a single
keyboard is unworkable. Requiring you to press long key sequences to
generate single characters is useless. (You may as well just press
L-A-M-B-D-A and have it come out as "lambda".) Even with an ideal
keyboard, the creature of your fancies, you won't get past that, for
the same reason that we have keyboards that type letters rather than
English words.

uh, pretty much.   That's why they called it ASCII American Standard

well too, for many many years, because so many languages derive from 
Latin, and most non third world countries use Latin derived character

Specialized keytops are made now, but what if...

Back before I was born, people were using computers to write messages
that weren't in English. And they managed it, somehow. Can't imagine
how, if all computers work exclusively with seven-bit Latin-derived
character sets.

"Most non-third-world countries use Latin-derived character sets".
Hmm. Let's see. Greece, Russia, China, Japan, Israel, and Egypt are
either third-world or just so insignificant that you can ignore them
and say "most". Yeah, okay, we'll take that as read.

Names are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to internationality.
Ever heard of a place called IHOP? I hadn't, until I started talking
to Americans. What's the difference between "global" and "universal"?
We're clearly taking no notice of Martian languages here, much less
anything outside our solar system. (If humans had non-FTL space travel
five thousand years ago, there could now be colonies all over the
universe, and we wouldn't necessarily even know about them. Those
people would speak languages that can't possibly be Latin-derived;
most likely they'd be derived from Hebrew or Arabic. In the event that
they make contact, we're going to have to allocate some Unicode planes
to them.) "Extended ASCII" is as international as Unicode, just less
standardized.

For Indian languages there is usually a specific fully localized
layout and a latin-derived one.

In particular for devanagari, which is directly used (Hindi, Marathi)
or close relative used (Gujarati, Bengali) there is inscript and itrans
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Indic/HindiKeyboardLayouts

itrans is the latin-derived layout, inscript is the fully-localized,
no-relation-to-US-104 one.

I would not be able to use the inscript if I tried and this is true for
most of the people I know even though in some theoretically ergonomic
sense its more efficient.

So in the sphere I am familiar with Mark seems to be right that
ASCII == US-104 rules the planet.

To go from this small-sample data to vast generalizations...
I'll leave to others

    Kanji and Cyrillic , and Arabic are obvious exceptions to that

    Unicode. Shoot, most of the world didn't even have computers until 
just a few years ago; none of the third world did, back in the day, and 
the ones who did communicated in ASCII and English (or some broken 
variant of it).

Prominent discussion forum, although that strives to be at least
partially bilingual in deference to those of us who are so backward as
to speak only English.

So, pre-Unicode, people didn't use any of those languages or writing
systems with computers, is that what you're saying? That code pages
86x are a total myth?

Unicode didn't even begin to exist until 1987, and the first version
of the standard wasn't published until 1991. You're seriously saying
that until 1991 (plus however long it took to get implementations into
people's hands) everyone spoke English with computers?!?

    Yes. Well, as the joke goes, if you're trilingual you speak three 
languages, if you're bilingual you speak two languages, if you're 
monolingual you're an American (well, that might go for Australia too, 
maybe). When whole continents speak the same language that tends to happen.

    No, no, no... don't over-read my post please. Think in orders of 
magnitudes. In computer history very little is even mentioned outside 
the U.S.  This is, of course, not fair.  The folks in the U.K. played a 
huge role (the Alan Turing story, The Baby, Blakeley &c). The entire 
world used ASCII, like, forever.  Heck, its still being used!

    Code pages are not a myth,  but they were not prominent, either. And 
of course prejudice is relatively spoken; I don't want to define it.
    What I can tell you in my own experience, as an amateur radio 
operator (W0MHH, general class) who has communicated all over the earth 
(even to Soviet Russia), all my computer|radio comm was in English using 
Morse code sets, Latin characters, and ASCII.  No one ever asked me to 
comm in Russian, or French, nor Italian, nor Tswana...

    No. see above.   I'm saying that (for the most part) international 
communication has been Latin code pages and ASCII all over the earth, 
until very recently (as you point out).. By the way, in my view, 1991 is 
very recently; from a computer historical standpoint too. I mean, think 
about it, computers have only existed since late 1940s and only in their 
modern context since about 1989. I didn't really start using unicode 
until about 5 years ago; python has only really used it since python3. 
right?

    The consortium designates scripts vs. languages. When folks ask them 
about how many languages they support its a difficult answer.  Do you 
mean scripts ( of which there is only one Latin script ) or are you 
referring to the *thousands* of different languages that are scripted in 
Latin characters?  Latin script is used in thousands of languages 
world-wide;  true story.  (that's what the quote is above)

> I'm not sure whether you're trolling or genuinely ignorant of all
> history and other languages.

    Neither.  I never troll, and I'm not ignorant. We are only getting 
cross-ways on this point more because of overlapping time frames I'm 
guessing, and numbers. I know that people groups and various languages 
were being used around the world in pockets for various purposes. I was 
part of the support group at IBM, for instance, that helped with the 
debugging process when we started supporting Kanji on the system36 
system38.  I know that kind of stuff was happening. But when it came to 
communicating world-wide for business (or in my case with radiography) 
it was always ASCII, Latin character sets, and in my case English Morse 
or international Morse code sets (derived from English).


> Please clarify. If you really are just

No, Chris.  I never troll.  (that would make my fingers itch)

You mean like the USA, where I saw an ad in a shop for a bilingual shop 
assistant?  Or is Spanish so like US English it doesn't count as a 
separate language?

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. We have people here from 
all over the earth, and enough illegal immigrants speaking Spanish to 
account for a population about the size of Ohio. But, Americans are 
mostly monolingual. ...point of fact.

The people of the United States are in a smallish battle over whether 
the official language of the United States should be English? In other 
words, no special signs, if you're going to live here you're going to 
learn English (end of the story, for some people).

I'm not in that camp. I am preparing to start French studies soon. My 
son and daughter are fifth year fluent in Spanish (my daughter is 
minoring in Spanish, and plans study abroad for that purpose as she 
prepares for medical school.

There is no nice way to say this... we have a lot of pin-headed bigots 
living here that have to intention nor inclination to learn another 
language. Some of them even think that if English was good enough for 
Jesus , its got to be good enough for them (I'm not kidding).

Sadly, true.

But then, more than half of our population is not aware that the earth 
revolves around the sun, either.    :-}

*raises eyebrow*

Did you intend to imply that it is only illegal immigrants who speak 
Spanish in the USA?

The most recent US census found there are 38.5 million people in the US 
who primarily speak Spanish, and 45 million who speak it as their first 
or second language. In comparison, there are only an estimated 11 million 
illegal immigrants (of which only 7 million is from Mexico).

I think he's correct there. After all, anyone who doesn't fit the
white-skinned monolingual (barely-one-language, really) middle-class
stereotype *MUST* be an illegal immigrant - right? That's how you
recognize who to be rude to.

    Hilarious!   That's part of the problem, um, its because they are 
*illegal* that the census bureau does not know about them in terms of 
exact numbers; its a nice effort though.

    America is a melting pot (always has been). We have thousands of 
ethnic groups living here and thousands of languages spoken here. All of 
them are in some place on the continuum of English as a second language; 
its the only way to survive here.

Given the sorts of patronising, condescending things you insist are true 
about non-Americans, such as their supposed inability to communicate in 
their own language on the Internet, I wasn't sure.

The number of illegal immigrants is not estimated from the Census numbers 
directly. It's not like they have a tick box "Are you in this country 
illegally?".

Just because *you* don't know how illegal immigrant numbers are 
estimated, or what margin of error those estimates might have, don't make 
the mistake of imagining that any such effort is "hilarious", a joke, or 
otherwise useless. Naturally the figure is *estimated*, I even said it 
was estimated, and gave it as a round number.

If I had said there were 11,205,971 illegal immigrants in the USA as of 
last Tuesday, then you would have a good excuse to mock my spurious 
precision. Otherwise, not so much.

Not really. There are under 350 languages spoken in the USA. Over 92% of 
the population speaking just two of them, English and Spanish, with 
Chinese a *very* distant third. Only eight languages are spoken by more 
than 1 million people. Even if you double that figure, to capture "that 
one guy who speaks Gunwinyguan" and other outliers, you still end up well 
under even a single thousand.

The surprising thing to me about this is not that the number of languages 
is so low (there are about 6000-7000 languages in the world), but that it 
is so high. I would have predicted well under 100. After all, spoken 
language popularity is an excellent example of network effects: the more 
people who speak a language, the more valuable it is to speak the same 
language.

Network effects explain why, out of the six or seven thousand languages 
in the world, just thirteen account for more than half the world's 
population:

1) Mandarin
2) Spanish
3) English
4) Hindi
5) Arabic
6) Portuguese
7) Bengali
8) Russian
9) Japanese
10) Punjabi
11) German
12) Javanese
13) Wu

adding up to 51%. The next thirteen bring the total to 64%.

(Figures are, naturally, approximate and subject to change.)

Approximately 5% of the US population either do not speak English at all, 
or speak it poorly. That includes approximately half a million ASL 
speakers (American Sign Language, which is not a manual representation of 
English but an independent language in it's own right), the majority of 
whom are unable to speak or understand spoken English.

Be careful of making sweeping generalisations like "the only way to 
survive". Especially when they're so judgemental. It's not like there are 
gangs of armed militia hunting down deaf children and foreign grannies 
who only speak the language of their homeland. Well, maybe in Arizona.
