Why? This is the weirdest mail list I've ever subscribed to (the list, not
the contributers :-) ). We're asked to CC to the list whereas on every
other list I've used the principal is to ONLY post to the list.
I would suspect that's the shortest, easiest recommendation that applies
to everyone. Some folks have clients that have the more appropriate
'reply to list' button/command. But alas, most modern webmail and even
desktop clients no longer have it.
I use Thunderbird, reading the list as a 'news server' via gmane. That
gives me a 'Follow up' button which is functionally equivalent to 'reply
to list'. (I still have a 'reply' button to e-mail a list user directly,
but I don't use it)
The advice *could be* to remove the auto-inserted user's e-mails when
hitting 'reply' or 'reply-all' and leaving, and/or inserting the list
address, but it is much easier to just advise to 'CC' instead. (the wiki
*does* offer the more verbose options I've mentioned here, but that is
too much to put in the bottom of every message.
That aside, I'd rather fetch from a list than receive direct mail. In the
case of gnucash-user, I can be selective in reading from the archive.
That's the beauty of this, you can use the list however it works for you.
To save you the trouble of un/re-subscribing, simply remain subscribed,
but edit your preferences from the list website to turn off receipt of
new messages. Then you can view them when you want via the archive, and
still reply without having to re-subscribe.

Adrien
