I can think of a lot of people who don't subscribe to a mailing list because they don't want to receive the "tons of emails". Some of these would not even consider setting up a filter to drop all the mails (and actually I cannnot see any good way to explain them why to subscribe to a list if then you throw it away). Furhtermore these people usualy don't have a /dev/null on their computer. On the Perl mailing list I maintain pressing a Reply would send the reply to the list as I think this is the way go so there the current state-of-affairs does not permit this work-arond. I was thinking of patching the maillist program I use to support the mode I suggested but I am not sure if that is interesting at all. In any case that would give me a good opportunity to learn Python as I am using mailman. -- Gabor Szabo Perl User Group in Israel http://www.perl.org.il/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
