When I got to the LI administration pages after the mail I sent
yesterday I found 2 messages from you waiting to be approved. You are
subscribed from some address (I don't know which) and are posting from
your sourceforge.net address. Since mail from non-members is held by
default, your mail hangs around until Devdas or I get off our
(respectively) thin or fat backsides and get around to doing something
about it. This usually happens once a day, but could sometimes be 2-3
days.
If you want your mail to LI-* to reach and enlighten the world ASAP,
try posting from a subscribed address. Until then, stop complaining.
