To spell out this idea: any mail that gets sent to announcements@jakarta is forwarded to general@ with "[ANN]" prepended to it's subject (possibly stripping any existing [ANN] variants). Same with [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's kinda nice. In addition to munging the subject line, it could add an X-Jakarta-Announce: or X-Jakarta-Advert: header, which people could filter on. All assuming that people *want* Jakarta-related adverts and announcements on general@. I get the impression that some do, a few don't, and most don't care. --Jeff > This way if one wants only announcements, he can subscribe to that list, > while other users get the ANN topics automatically. > This could be done also with an [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and [ADV] as > Jeff suggests. > Another result of this is having separate mail history for these lists. > > -- > Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] > - verba volant, scripta manent - > (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
