Mailman does have an option to "Receive all messages that don't match any topic." or some wording like that. So I think that if people set that, then they would only miss out on messages that touched on a topic that they opted to not receive. > On one list I use, a predecessor of it used to require a subject tag in > the form [Blah] (taken from a set of known tags); I've always hated > that, but I'm still in the habit of putting my own tag there as a hint. Yes, that's Mailman's default. However, it's relatively easy to have Prcomail (et al.) process the message before it goes into Mailman and scan the message body for keywords and add them to a user defined header that Mailman looks at. Thus, people don't need to include the topic in the subject. This is the make technology work for me (us) that I believe in so much. :-) -- Grant. . . . unix || die -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
