I did copy the OP (as another To:). When I respond to an unsubscribed

?? Thunderbird, and I thought all other e-mail programs, will
automatically display a list of the To and CC recipients of a message
(not BCC'ed ones, of course). The other two things (the note about the
user being unsubscribed, and the note that the OP should respond to the
list) are part of the message itself. What can't others see?
But they'll still not receive replies to replies on the list (such as
this one) because people don't realize/care that the OP (a mile off
the screen top) wasn't subscribed. But we keep coming here, no?
Yes. So far the best option I've found is to give the OP a link into the
old.nabble copy of the thread (they can follow the discussion and
respond; I think that also gets them into an Injected-by situation that
means their responses are not moderated). It's also, I think, less
intimidating for a newbie to use than Gmane for this purpose. But I'm
not sure of the overall stability of this solution, so I hesitate to
recommend it as a general response. There's been talk of moving the OOo
lists to another part of nabble, for instance, and the OOo
administrators have no control over what nabble (or Gmane,for that
matter) chooses to do. The real solution should be contained within
OOo's own control. I'm hoping that the Kenai implementation will take
this in hand.
