How does one send email to *THIS* list, without being subscribed in the first place? A bugzilla mailing list is a different matter. A web form bug submission goes to a list, which the submitter is probably not subscribed to. Developers do need to CC their replies to the original submitter to let them know what's happening. But I'm not aware of any such mechanism on this list. If someone is involved in a thread here, then they've obviously subscribed here. So the CC: is redundant. Speaking of procmail+formail, I use them to tame the lists that follow Chip Rosenthal's ideas. E.g., if this list did that, I would use... :0 fhw * ^X-BeenThere: gentoo-user@lists\.gentoo\.org * !^Reply-To: gentoo-user@lists\.gentoo\.org | formail -i "Reply-To: gentoo-user@lists\.gentoo\.org (Gentoo users)" I do this to the few lists I run into that I want/need, which blindly follow Chip's ideas. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
