You haven't committed a crime against humanity; you've just made
yourself look impolite and foolish. Nothing you can't recover from in
time.
for once i just used default setting in mail client (ximian)

kind of crap
Yes, Evolution is a pile of crap -- I agree. I still have bugs open
against it because it crashes when it views certain mails; bugs which I
opened months ago. Minor things like RFC violations take even longer to
get fixed.
this aint ur list ;-)
Indeed not.
By the way, you misspelled 'your' -- and sentences are generally
expected to start with a capital letter. Your own personal 'style' may
seem cute to your mother, but it's not really particularly useful when
you're communicating in a public forum. It just makes you look foolish.

nothing much I do about it (if you ever worked in a big company ...u

disclaimer ...disclaiming the disclaimer below ;-)
I work in a company which is big enough to have some of its own idiocy;
in fact that's why my company email address is generally used _only_ for
those emails which I absolutely need to be wearing my tinfoil hat for.
Anything which isn't strictly company-internal is done with my own email
address, which I know is competently run.
However, I do have enough confidence in our legal department to be
fairly sure that if some idiot in management wanted to add a pointless
disclaimer to all outgoing email, they'd veto such a public announcement
of our lack of clue.
I know of situations in which companies which have lost contracts to
competitors based on little more than their abuse of netiquette. It
gives a _very_ bad impression. Especially when you see a stupid
disclaimer -- the only thing it really achieves is to trumpet the
cluelessness of the company concerned.
