Was it you that complained about this before? All you have to do is subscribe to the NOMAIL version of the list, this way you are a member and can post, but do not get emails from the list - so it does NOT defeat the purpose. But... yes, absolutely, this should be documented... Here's the reply I got after sending a help request (which *is* documented at least): "Hello, The following options are available: To unsubscribe send a message to: [email protected] To unsubscribe from the digest of this list send a message to: [email protected] To unsubscribe from the "nomail" version this list send a message to: [email protected] To subscribe to the digest of this list send a message to: [email protected] To subscribe to the "nomail" version of this list send a message to: [email protected] The nomail version of a list means that you are reccognized as a subscriber, but will not get any messages to the list. This is useful when it's necessary to post from several emailaddresses to a subscribers only list. For retrieval of message number N in the archive send a message to [email protected] To contact the list owner, send a message to: [email protected]" -- Best regards, Charles -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
