There seems to be some incongruency here. I see that the email for this
list is [email protected]. However, I monitor the list through
gmane on usenet and the newsgroup name is
gmane.comp.openoffice.general. After scanning through the list of
available newsgroups containing 'openoffice', the
gmane.comp.openoffice.general seems to be the the help/users lists. If
this is not it, what one should I be using?
gmane.comp.openoffice.questions
Increasingly due to this and other issues, I am coming to see gmane as broken
for anyone seriously attempting to help on these lists.
What new issue? Gmane has always called the users list questions. This
is quite clear on the OO.o support page and on gmane as well. I would
never go back to using the mail list. I do not see anything as broken
using gmane.
AFAICT it is
impossible through gmane to sort unsubscribed users. This new issue, though
it may only be one of confusion, only serves to support my belief.
Look for "Delivered-To: moderator for ..." in the message header.
Almost all of us have a "normal" email client which allows sorting of mails to
sub-folders based on "From:" and other filter methods. This seems the better
method to me IMHO.
Some newsgroup readers can sort for the header. Some (Thunderbird for
one) can't. The real problem is allowing unsubscribed posts to the
mailing list.
