When the account is setup, a .forward can be made by the admin via whatever script they want to use. The problem isn't that people don't know how to use it IMO, it's more that they don't know it's there. Or even just switch the system. Make the default that all new committers have a .forward made and a note is made for those happy with a unix-style command line so they can remove it. I'm very comfortable on a command line but took agesto setup a .forward because I didn't even realise I had a [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address running. Was only later I found a 400k mailbox when I logged onto cvs.apache.org and realised. Hen
