Thanks. I was missing this piece of information. The confirmation message I received after subscribing to gentoo-user+subscribe-nomail had the following text: #+begin_quote If you ever wish to unsubscribe, send a message to using this email address. The subject and the body of the message can be anything. You will then receive confirmation or further instructions. #+end_quote Since only one unsubscribe address - presumably for the regular subscription - was indicated, I assumed there was only one account per email (ala mailman) with options set on the account. So I assumed if I unsubscribed at this address I would remove myself from the list and the ability to post to it. > Just subscribing to the nomail version of the list does not impact your > other subscriptions at all. > > Did some part of the documentation make you think it would impact the > subscription? > > Regardless, how do you feel the documentation could improve to make it > clear that they are separate. Perhaps the unsubscribe instructions on joining the digest and nomail lists should indicate addresses like If that is how it is to be done. (I haven't tried sending mail to gentoo-user+help-nomail@. I believe I'm off the regular list now, Thanks!) ---Madhu
[gentoo-user] mailing list problem: changing subscription type
I had subscribed to gentoo-user on 2022-05-25, and posted a message on that date. I then wished to change my subscription to no-mail delivery. The instructions I received after sending a message to gentoo-user+h...@lists.gentoo.org indicated I could do this by sending a message to gentoo-user+subscribe-nom...@lists.gentoo.org, which I did. and I got a response saying "Thank you for confirming your subscription. You have now been added to the no-mail version of the list." However the email address is still receiving messages from the list. Apparently my email is subscribed on two lists - the mail version and the non-mail version, and there doesn't seem to be any way to unsubscribe only from the mail-version while remaining on the latter. I wanted to mention this as a possible problem with the mailing list software. Could I request the list owner to make sure I remain subscribed to the the list while not receiving copies in the mail? Thanks ---Madhu
[gentoo-user] IBus + Ctlr-Shift-u - unicode hex input
(first post on the list), Hello >From https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Input_methods it would seem gentoo on IBus should support Ctrl-Shift-u to support input of unicode characters. I have Ibus compiled with USE="unicode -emoji", and with /usr/bin/ibus-setup, the emoji tab shows an entry of "Unicode code point" with . However this seems to have no effect on the C-S-u keybinding, and I am not prompted for any hex input in applications that use IBus. If I type Ctrl- or Ctrl- I do get prompted with a dialog box full of smileys. So even with USE=-emoji emoji prompting works. Where should I look for the reasons why Ctrl-Shift-u doesn't work? Does it work for others? Ibus input method switching works (for applications that support it: xkb methdods always work but I see glitches with ibus-m17n input methods), only this unicode input isn't working. Could this be an IBus bug? Apparently it works out of the box on other distros. --- Madhu
