It could run at quite a high level of protection --- unlike normal email, with a mailing list you can tell if your mail didn't make it. (In the event of subject lines like `Zsh problem with pictures of celebrities taking human growth hormone', or whatever.) We don't really want to make zsh-workers a closed list, since that's where we receive bug reports, and this way we can discuss them live instead of trawling through a list. This has proved a very useful way of working. Although it's less crucial, I don't think we want to close zsh-users, either, since it's annoying to have to subscribe to a list just to ask one simple query. The people who bother to ask questions on the list, even if they're not members, are often the ones who are able to spot infelicities in the shell or in the documentation. At a pinch, they could still post to zsh-workers, I suppose, so this is an option. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
