CPH,
glad you stepped in, I also hope to save some of your future time with
all this nagging. However, with all due respect, the problem here is
that what is not so good is the grasp of automated email processing
that you and the other volunteers have. Not the unsubscribed novices.

First of all, those who are flaming me for lack of knowledge are
advocating a very different thing, even worse filtering wise: *repost*
to unsubscribed user, with list in CC:, without even saying so in the
subject. In the second place, for about the tenth time in this weekend
only:
I have explained 15 months ago how that CC: that you feel necessary
could be guaranteed to happen
1) automatically, without wasting your time,
2) without any extra/duplicate message going to subscribers, and
3) without wasting one second to do what you keep suggesting:

which not only is unnecessary but, as you yourself know, is just as
likely to happen as Microsoft going Open Source. The limitations of
CollabNet are the first reason why OOo lists, unlike many other Open
Source communities, are in this status.
If you don't believe me, find by yourself some procmail expert you
trust, and have him or her look at my proposal. Remember that you and
the others are wasting much more time than me with all this continuous
manual remailing.
Hope this helps,
Marco
