Fr�d�ric, give it up already. Many maintainers request that you do CC them. Even if the message is sent to the list. You are the only one that asks not to be. So stop it. I've posted a procmail rule for you to use that would eliminate receiving duplicate emails if that bothers you. Some of us use scoring or other techniques that cause messages that are CC'ed to us to show at a higher priority or get labeled in a way that makes it easier to see. (For instance I have mutt configured so threads that I'm participating in, messages I've replied to, and emails with one of my email address in the To or CC fields get highlighted in green instead of just the normal white on black). We do this because we eliminate duplcates via filters. But it still allows people a way to catch our attention. Unfortunately I don't have time to check a list to see who does and does not want to be CC'ed. This is not the first time I've pointed this out to you. You never bother to respond to these points. You just keep yelling at people for CC'ing you. Now I understand in the particular instance it wasn't your package. But in general CC'ing the package maintainer is the proper thing to do around here. If you want I'll be happy to once again post the filters and things I use for dealing with duplicate emails or even for highlighting important messages to me (though I think you use Emacs so some of it won't be useful). Conflicting methods and requests on bug reporting procedures are a big problem around here. And your conflicting requests with other Mandrake employees and maintainers is not helping. Perhaps Mandrake should set a policy on this that everyone can deal with. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
