Does this actually work? In practice, I get the feeling that a large minority at least unsets "nodupes". XEmacs lists default to nodupes, but about 1/3 of users have them unset, and a quick eyeball suggests that over 95% of the ones with nodupes set have never posted or been cc'd on the list. I would say that the effect that such members get many fewer automatic CCs from reply-all would be the main reason for the removal. Even if it doesn't work this is the right thing to do. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
