I use slrn/NNTP/Gmane for most of my lists, BTW, and have disabled receiving the emails. I'd prefer not having to subscribe either, or the subscription (and disabling of receiving mail) being queried in response to a posting when not subscribed. (gmane, in fact, does already try to verify that you really are there and not just a rooted spam bot, before it lets you post... but the lists don't know that.) It would also be great to be able to subscribe to just the single thread that you start -- automatically. > The less users, the better.
