'someone' added the footer, so you may thank him. I emailed him expressing some support last week, and then I emailed him yesterday to please stop BCCing me on broadcast messages that don't directly address me -- I also told him I opted in to his own mailing list and his blog RSS feed. Now I got the fake List-Id messages today and spent 20 minutes fiddling with FastMail trying to come up with the right rules to find out how many such messages there are. (He sent 2, only today, as far as I know.) IMO, misleading email metada makes it difficult to be feel sympathetic about the sender's position. Everyone: if you are uncomfortable with some of the fallout from this month's drama, 1) ask nicely for people to correct their behavior, where appropriate, if you feel comfortable doing it, and 2) consider blocking individual trouble sources in your email system, before you decide to unsubscribe or leave a whole organizations. Ask someone for technical help on this if you need it. Also, filter all broadcast emails out of your Inbox, and only read them when the time is right. No one will mind if you disappear from the conversation for a few days or weeks. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
